Scout.com national director of recruiting Brandon Huffman’s business relationships quickly became personal when news of his daughter’s cancer went public. Turns out the season of giving has been in effect for nearly six months now.

AUBURN — Avery Huffman is a 7-year-old who will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. She can’t move her right arm, and in the past five months has gained 35 pounds due to steroids.

The tumor in her brain also forces her to wear a patch over her right eye.
