I've said it 6,000 times, so here is 6,001: this is why I — and every other person at Barstool — will always fight back with people taking shots at the Stoolies, whether they have 1 million followers or 1. They ALWAYS step up when it matters. When Michael Davidson was tragically killed last year fighting a fire in Harlem, Kevin put up a blog asking for donations for the family: Eileen Davidson and her 4 kids, all under the age of 7.

As if that wasn't enough, one of the kids was dealing with a mysterious lung illness (which Michael had taken months off of work to stay home and take care of her), and Eileen herself had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. This family, already dealing with the terror and uncertainty of 2 illnesses, lost a husband and a father overnight.

Obviously the Stoolies didn't need to hear more than "firefighter and father of 4 passes away" to start smashing their Venmos. But all of the circumstances around Eileen and the kids made this one closer to the heart for a lot of us at Barstool than others. Which is why it was so amazing to see the total rise and rise and rise. In the end Eileen and the 4 Davidson kids got a $115,000 check directly from Kev and the fucking awesome Barstool fans, to help with their expenses and to start rebuilding the life that has been so immensely unfair to them. That's why there wasn't a dry eye in the house at the company meeting yesterday and why we'll do the same thing the next time someone else needs help.

We already know we have the best fans in the world, and it's an awesome feeling hearing that Eileen Davidson knows that now too.

Thank you guys for everything you do and everything — and everyone — you support.
