LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) – College football fans are coming together to support a Utah couple after a tragic accident, returning the favor from an earlier show of support for a local barber.
Gavin and Katie Cornia are newlyweds from Utah who were involved in a head-on collision that took Gavin’s life and left Katie in critical condition.
Posts across social media asked for support to help Katie with rehabilitation and to help honor the memory of Gavin. BYU and Texas Tech fans have responded to the call for help.
More than $80,000 has been raised for the couple. The fundraising total had reached more than $73,000 when the video was recorded and has since grown.
The effort follows an earlier outpouring of support for a local barber when BYU and Texas Tech played earlier this year, which saw fans from both schools and college football supporters come together.
