Fund for McElrathbey brothers raises nearly $50,000

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Nearly $50,000 has been raised so far to help Clemson freshman Ray Ray McElrathbey raise his 11-year-old brother, Fahmarr, with contributions from across the country, including an NBA player and REM's manager.
...
McElrathbey took custody of Fahmarr this summer because of their mother's continuing drug problem. The elder McElrathbey said he wanted his younger brother near him and not returned to foster care.

The school announced the trust fund for the McElrathbeys on Sept. 19, about a week after the NCAA granted a waiver to allow the brothers to receive help and not violate rules against extra benefits.
