Teen raises $6k for RMHC of Central Ohio through Celebrity Steer Show

FAYETTE COUNTY, Ohio (WCMH) - The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio Celebrity Steer Show is less than a week away and one team is making a push with a huge week at the Fayette County Fair.

Bryson Dean and his steer 'Johnny' raised over $6,000 for RMHC of Central Ohio at the fair. Bryson is the 4-H and Ohio Cattlemen's Association partner for the NiSource - Columbia Gas of Ohio Team alongside NBC4's Kyle Beachy in the Celebrity Steer Show. The team, 'Johnny's Charity Champions' will compete against ten other teams on Wednesday at the Ohio State Fair.

Dean was able to raise the money through an auction as well as donations from generous partners and community members in Fayette County. Each team in the Celebrity Steer Show has a goal of raising $15,000. The generous donation earned by Bryson brings the teams total to a little over half of the goal.

There is still time to help Bryson meet their goal. Donations can be made on the team's page here.
