Family of Dayton Flyers alum receives $12,000 in donations in two days

A fundraiser for the family of former Dayton Flyers guard Kyle Davis has raised $19,600 since Thursday.

A GoFundMe account was started Thursday to raise money for Davis' family, which lost its home in Chicago in a fire on April 4. The goal was to raise $11,000, and donations by 193 people helped the family surpass that goal in fewer than two days.

Davis responded to the outpouring of support on Friday.

I just want to thank everyone n #FlyerNation for your support for my family. We are close to our goal and wouldn't be here without you! #KD3

Julianne Ohl Franklin, who started the GoFundMe.com page, wrote, “It has been awesome seeing a group of unknown people come together to support a hardworking, inspirational, loving and kind young man and his family. I have said it many times before and I will say it again, those #FlyerFaithful are something else.”
