"I'm willing to get a tattoo of our Stone eagle or shave my head or let the kids slime me or sing a karaoke song. So there are all levels built into the amounts that we're able to raise," Brandon said.
If they reach their goal, he says he’ll do them all!
To date, students have raised $17,000. The baseball renovation will cost around $1-million in all. Fundraising ends June 13.
