RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Through a t-shirt fundraiser, the community has raised $26,000 to help a South Hill restaurant that burned rebuild.

Brian’s Steakhouse in Mecklenburg County has been a community staple since 1974, but it caught on fire on April 21.

It was gone after several fire crews battled flames for nearly three hours.
