Tallahassee, FL-Hundreds of people showed up to support FSU Football Jimbo Fisher and his wife Candi's charity Saturday.

Organizers say about 250 attended the Fisher's Starz for Hope. The event helps raise money for the Kidz 1st Fund.

The charity helps raise awareness and money for research to combat Fanconi Anemia.

Fanconi Anemia is a rare, life-threatening disease that affects the body's bone marrow. The Fisher's son Ethan has the disease.

"With your support, we have hope. And from the bottom of my heart I thank you so much for that hope because I couldn't live without it. It's what makes me go every day and it's what makes us get up every day and do what we do," said Jimbo Fisher.
