ShareA GoFundMe page set up in his honor has far exceeded it's initial $10,000 goal. As of Thursday, the fun was at $23,000.
That money will first go towards Carter's funeral and then towards a statue in his honor at the school. The remaining money will be put in the school's endowment for a fund in his memory.
