Solana meme token raises $50,000 for patient

JakeGagain said on May 24 that a Solana meme-token campaign had raised more than $50,000 for X user chooserich, whom he said was battling cancer. In a post on X, JakeGagain said the money came from community fees and support from Pump.fun, the Solana token-launch platform. He also said he had donated proceeds and that the token’s market capitalization was about $6 million at the time of the update. The post drew roughly 135 likes and 26 reposts, according to the social thread cited in the source briefing. ### Who said the money was raised, and for whom? JakeGagain was the person who publicly disclosed the fundraiser, saying on May 24 that more than $50,000 had been raised for chooserich. The statement appeared in his X post, which is the central public claim behind the story, and named Pump.fun as a participant in the effort. The post said the funds came from community fees and Pump.fun support, and that JakeGagain donated proceeds. (beincrypto.com) Chooserich appears to be the online identity of Nick O’Neill, identified elsewhere online as co-founder and chief executive of BoDoggosENT. The available public material tied to this story does not provide an independent medical update from chooserich, but the BeInCrypto report linked the broader episode to a cancer-related fundraising effort around a crypto community member. (beincrypto.com) ### How does Pump.fun fit into this fundraiser? Pump.fun was named by JakeGagain as a source of support for the fundraising total. The platform is a Solana-based token-launch site that lets users create and trade meme tokens, and it has become a hub for fast-moving, creator-led token campaigns. In this case, JakeGagain said community fees and Pump.fun support were used to generate funds for chooserich. (twitterspacegpt.com) Pump.fun’s role matters because the fundraiser appears to have been tied to token trading activity rather than a conventional donation page. The public materials available for this story do not show a separate statement from Pump.fun detailing the amount it contributed or the mechanics of the support. JakeGagain’s post is the attributed source for that claim. (flashift.app) ### What is known about the token itself? JakeGagain said the token involved in the fundraiser had a market capitalization of about $6 million when he posted the update on May 24. The social briefing tied the campaign to a Solana token address and described it as a meme coin that had rallied around the fundraiser. The upstream briefing also said the token had support from the surrounding community, which is typical of Pump.fun launches that can move rapidly on social attention. (beincrypto.com) Separate briefing material on the Solana meme-coin market said speculative trading in similar tokens has remained active, with some projects reaching multi-million-dollar valuations within a day. That broader market context helps explain how a token-linked fundraiser could generate a five-figure sum in a short period, though the exact on-chain breakdown for this campaign was not available in the sourced material reviewed here. (beincrypto.com) ### Is there independent verification of the $50,000 figure? The May 24 X post is the main public evidence for the “more than $50,000” figure. The source packet did not include an on-chain accounting, a wallet statement, or a separate confirmation from Pump.fun itemizing the donations. That means the amount is best described as JakeGagain’s public claim, reported alongside the social metrics attached to the post. (beincrypto.com) BeInCrypto previously reported on a related crypto-community effort involving cancer-related donations and scams, showing that fundraising around illness has already become a recurring issue in meme-coin circles. That report provides context for why community members have paid attention to the chooserich campaign, but it does not independently verify the exact May 24 total cited by JakeGagain. (beincrypto.com) ### What comes next for the public record? The next concrete checkpoint is any follow-up post from JakeGagain, chooserich or Pump.fun showing wallet transfers, final totals or an updated token valuation. As of May 25, the public record available in the sourced material remained JakeGagain’s May 24 X post naming chooserich, citing more than $50,000 raised and putting the token’s market capitalization at about $6 million.
