  "account": "GoFundMe campaign established for family of Wisconsin high school football player who passed away\n\nAdam Massman, a senior at Alma Center Lincoln High School, lost his life following an injury sustained during a football game on August 20. Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) were present at the game, and Massman was subsequently transported to a hospital, where he was declared deceased. In response to the tragedy, Alma Center Lincoln High School canceled its subsequent football game scheduled for August 28.\n\nThe fundraising effort, launched on GoFundMe, has garnered $28,000 in contributions as of Tuesday morning, September 1. The target amount set for the fundraiser was $35,000, leaving a shortfall of $7,000. Brianne Massman, Adam's mother, expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support received from family, friends, and communities across the nation. She emphasized that the fundraiser would aid her family through this devastating loss and serve as a means to uplift others in Adam's memory.\n\nMassman, a multi-sport athlete and an active member of his community, was remembered for his love of sports, family, and cattle. District Superintendent Drew Semingson previously shared with the Journal Sentinel that Adam formed friendships wherever he went. Brianne further highlighted her son's determination, stating, \"What he invested in, he invested in all the way.\" This story first appeared on Milwaukee Journal Sentinel as \"GoFundMe launched for family of Wisconsin high school football player who died.\"",
