The goal was to raise $20,000 and BYU fans surpassed that mark by almost $10,000. “The fact that you want to do this for me, I don’t even know what to say. It touches my heart,” Botts said of Johnson’s initial pledge.

Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Avery Johnson publicly announced that he had started a drive online to raise money for his high school principal, Dr. Chris Botts, who is undergoing cancer treatments.
