The GoFundMe campaign was organized by the actor's friends to secure the future of his two teenage daughters – 15-year-old Billie Beatrice and 13-year-old Georgia Geraldine. As of the weekend, the campaign had already raised over $185,000 out of a planned quarter-million goal.
After being diagnosed last April, Eric Dane became an active voice in the ALS community, using his public profile to raise awareness about this incurable disease even as his own condition rapidly deteriorated.

Despite his severe illness, Eric Dane managed to complete filming his scenes for the highly anticipated third season of the series "Euphoria," where he played the role of Cal Jacobs.
The show's creator noted that the actor's dedication to his profession remained unwavering until his last days, and his character will receive a logical conclusion to his dramatic storyline. The premiere of new episodes featuring Dane is scheduled for April 12, 2026, on the HBO platform, which will be his last appearance on the big screen.
