Wren decided he would donate $10 to the Depew Senior Center for his snow angel. Things snowballed from there. The community got involed, and one by one, people started challenging each other and others started donating money for evey video that was posted on social media. As of Feb. 23, 2021, they have raised over $3,180 which will be donated to the senior citizen center.
