A young cheerleader from the Algonac Youth Football League, Addison Hildebrand, took her last breath on December 27, 2025.

Thus far, the precise details about her sudden demise remain concealed.

Similarly, concern has arisen regarding the GoFundMe campaign set up to support the family of Algonac Youth Football League cheerleader Addison.

Contributors noticed that the fundraiser appears to have been taken down. According to messages from the organizer, just over $600 had been raised before the campaign was disabled.

The organizer assured donors that the funds would still be given to Addison’s family to help support them during this difficult time.

Do you know what happened with the Go Fund Me I contributed to? I see it may have been taken down.
Organizer’s name is here. Just to make sure Jess & family get the money. Looks like just over $600 was raised before they disabled the link.
