Carson King delivered a $3 million check to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, KWQC reported.
He first started getting donations to his Venmo account last month after he held up a sign asking for beer money during ESPN’s College Gameday and traded it in for a check for $3 million.
‘Busch Light Supply Needs Replenished,’ read the sign, which was seen on TV during the match-up between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones.
He tweeted: ”With all the donations my @CollegeGameDay sign for @BuschBeer has received, I will be donating all but enough for a case of Busch Light to @uiowa Children’s Hospital.”
Earlier this month he revealed that he has crossed the $3 million mark.
He wrote: ”We Did It! Thank you to all the Local Busch Light Distributors across the state for the final $41,000.00, making this last push possible! 3 Million Dollars for @UIchildrens!”
Last month, King told PEOPLE that he chose the hospital because ”they are amazing at what they do”
”The University of Iowa does the wave to the kids since the hospital overlooks the stadium, and being I’m an Iowa State University fan, I figured this would be my way to help out.”
More than 35,000 people donated to King’s Venmo account. The most contributed states were Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota.
King said: ”I never thought I’d get anything with this sign.point 168 | To go from the poster-board that was like a $1.point 206 |

”A lot of people are like, ‘Hey, you should make this an annual thing.’ I wouldn’t say no to it. I don’t have any idea what I’m doing, but why not.”
