ZBT members said they heard about Mateo's cancer battle because his mother used to work in the university's administration department. So when they recently heard Mateo was going through another round of treatments, the fraternity members decided to shave their heads, KSBY reported.
“We kind of all got together and decided that it would be a good thing to try and show some support for Mateo, and the whole family,” Ben Elisarraraz told the television station. “I showed some pictures to him and the whole family and they were so amazed. They were really happy, so it was great.”
