(KAIR )--The Atchison County Schools of USD 377 are joining the list of area teams showing support for a Nemaha County student athlete diagnosed with brain cancer.

Danny Childress, a senior at Nemaha Central High School and a member of the school's football team, was scheduled for surgery last week, in Memphis, Tennessee.

A social media post made Saturday afternoon to the county schools' accounts, attributed to Coach Tegtmeier, encourages "every player, manager, coach, staff member, and fan to purchase a shirt...being sold to help with the medical costs" for Childress.

The plan, the post says, is for the shirts, which include the message of "All In for #61," the number Childress wears on the field, to be worn during Atchison County's October 24 football match-up against Nemaha Central. Both teams, the release notes, will be wearing the shirts, showing visible support for Childress.

The post explains that payment is to be made to ACCHS Football, with those donations to be presented as one check "for the cause" to be delivered by the school during the October 24 game.
