Feb 23, 2026 | 5:49 AM

A GoFundMe campaign for Eric Dane’s teenage daughters is under review with funds frozen after raising over $280,000. Dane died Thursday at 53 following his battle with ALS. The fundraiser for daughters Billie and Georgia, whom he shared with Rebecca Gayheart, was organized by “Friends of the Dane Family” with an initial $250,000 goal. GoFundMe’s Trust & Safety team is gathering additional information to ensure the intended beneficiary is properly added to the campaign. Mike McGuiness, claiming to be Dane’s friend for nearly two decades, said he helped establish the fundraiser, stating: “Covid and ALS did a number on his work life and he sadly couldn’t leave his family with the resources he had hoped.” Notable donors include Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, who contributed $27,000. Dane starred as Dr. Mark Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy and Cal Jacobs on Euphoria
