Since 2021, from the Palouse at Washington State to Morgantown, West Virginia, Jonathon Hokanson is decked out head to toe in BYU swag and goes wherever his beloved Cougars play.
Hokanson is a BYU superfan, who has attended every game since the start of 2021 - a tradition dedicated to the passing of his grandfather, who was a big BYU football fan. Hokanson had attended 37 straight games, both home and away, and that streak seemed to be ending due to scheduling difficulties for their game against 19th ranked Oklahoma State on November 25, 2023.
Hokanson shared photos featuring him and his father with BYU players and coaches from their travels. The pictures inspired some in "Cougar Nation" to ask Hokanson to share his Venmo and they would donate to get him to Stillwater.
Quick Quack Car Wash, sponsor of BYU football and "Cougar Nation" discovered Hokanson's social media and decided to sponsor his trip to the game. His streak was extended to 38 games.
“About an hour after I made the post, I received a message from Travis Kimball of Quick Quack Car Wash that said Quick Quack Car Wash would potentially want to sponsor my flight,” said Hokanson to KSL Sports. “When I first saw the message, I was shocked and also a little skeptical because it seemed too good to be true. I have seen and heard of people getting sponsored to do certain things, but never in a million years did I think I would have a flight to a BYU Football game sponsored by Quick Quack Car Wash.”
Quick Quack Car Wash has over 200 locations, many of which are in Utah.
“Four of the five original founders of Quick Quack Car Wash attended BYU and are somewhat of superfans themselves,” said Travis Kimball, Founding Partner and CXO of Quick Quack Car Wash to KSL Sports. “Sponsoring BYU Football and other sports has been a dream come true for them. When we saw the post about a fellow fan’s impressive streak to visit home and away games ending, it seemed like a very simple way to pay it forward on a week where we focus on things for which we are grateful.”
