Tennessee fans are a force to be reckoned with. Whether that’s on social media, in the stands at games, or, perhaps most importantly, when giving to charity.

On Tuesday night during Tennessee basketball’s win over Georgia, the Vol faithful discovered that UT freshman point guard Zakai Ziegler’s family home had tragically burned down. Zakai’s mother reportedly lost everything in the fire and the burden of the horrible event is especially heavy because she also cares for Zakai’s 4-year-old special needs nephew.

On Wednesday, the University collaborated with Zakai and created a GoFundMe campaign to help Zakai’s mother rebuild.

As you might expect, Tennessee fans answered the call. Despite the fact that the campaign was only attempting to raise $50,000, Vol fans donated a staggering $100,000 in only one hour.

It’s an amazing feat but frankly, unsurprising from Big Orange fans.

According to the GoFundMe page, the fund is for “exclusively relief and recovery.” It also states that the “listed goal of $50,000 is an approximation, as the full scope of loss is difficult to quantify and still being assessed.”

Again, if you feel compelled to give, click here to be redirected to the GoFundMe campaign.
