A fundraiser to assist the family of Stephen F. Austin’s Nathan Bain after their lives were turned upside down by Hurricane Dorian has soared past its $25,000 goal, mere hours after Bain’s last-second layup downed Duke.
Bain’s family lives in Freeport, Bahamas, on the island of Grand Bahama. The island was badly damaged by Hurricane Dorian in September and nearly all of the Bain family’s property was destroyed. The church where Bain’s father preaches also suffered “extreme damage,” according to the GoFundMe page.
The Stephen F. Austin athletic department launched a fundraiser on GoFundMe on Sept.
