On the fundraiser page, fellow Kappa Sigmas said: "Wes was an avid athlete, walking on to the TCU football team his freshman year at TCU. Wes also had a strong drive to better the community and those around him, serving as philanthropy chair for the chapter. To honor Wes's commitment to physical health and philanthropy, the members of TCU Kappa Sigma will be hosting "Touchdowns for Wes."

The flag football game was held from 9:30 a.m. to noon on Oct. 15, where the fraternity brothers hosted some 250 students, families and friends at the TCU football practice fields. Organizers say all proceeds will go to the Wes Smith Memorial Scholarship. So far, they have raised over $28,000.
