Jell-O Shot Frenzy: Baton Rouge Lawyer Sets Record with 8,888 Shots for LSU

Baton Rouge lawyer Gordon McKernan purchased 8,888 Jell-O shots ahead of the championship game between LSU and Florida in the College World Series, raising money for charity. McKernan's choice of 8,888 is significant because the most important player on the team is given the No. 8 jersey and is considered a lucky number in LSU baseball. The Jell-O shot challenge has already raised a record-breaking amount of money for charity, with LSU fans leading the way.

George and Brittany McGregor lost their infant son Everett due to complications with RSV in September of 2022. In his memory, the couple started WiBoGiving to raise money for the Child Life Department at Oschner, a place that helps sick children find comfort. Owner of Junior's on Harrison, Nick Hufft took notice of the initiative and combined the Jell-O shot craze popular in Omaha with the charity to help raise money. WiBoGiving will also have a day of giving on Nov. 26 at Southport Hall during a watching party for the Saints game in Atlanta against the Falcons.
