Evann Smith is a soccer player at UC Santa Barbara, but she's making a much bigger impact off the field.
Smith and other college athletes created a GoFundMe fundraiser following the death of George Floyd to raise money for Black Lives Matter. According to Josh Peter of USA Today, the group had a goal of raising $1,000 but ended up getting almost $80,000 with participation from over 200 schools.
"It just blows my mind how much support was given to us, the athletic community, and to the Black Lives Matter movement," the freshman said.
