PRINCETON (CBS) – Beloved Bruins fan Liam Fitzgerald took his "Man of the Year" campaign to Wachusett Mountain over the weekend.

Liam, 8, has joined the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's 10-week competitive fundraising campaign, raising money and gathering votes for a shot at being named the Society's Man of the Year.

Wachusett posted a video of his visit and lesson on YouTube.

His campaign, #BumpOutCancer, challenges people to donate $5 and post a picture or video on social media of you fist bumping someone and challenging 5 people to fist bump others.
