We are not talking about someone without means. ST should, and probably does have several million $$$ laying around.
Is his daughter not going to share in that in the form of support, education, etc? If so, why all the fundraising?

I have no idea for that reason, but my reasoning behind it is because of this:

For the past 2 years, I've been a diehard Redskins fan because of Sean Taylor. Before that, I'd switch teams every year, not sure which was my favorite. With his passing, I feel as if I have lost my father again. (He died October 31, 1998) I know how it feels to lose a loved one and I never had a fund raising type of thing like this for my family. My mom had to go back to college because without a college education, she wouldn't have been able to afford the house we used to live in. I know first hand how hard this experience must be for his family. I decided to fund raise because I'd like that chance to reach out to his family and give them my support. I felt I had no support when I lost my father, thus sending me into severe depression (which I recently have overcome).
