CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - Second-graders at Winterpock Elementary School donated more than $2,000 to the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Richmond on Thursday.
The children at the school raised $2,138.68 by designing and selling T-shirts to the rest of the school to help raise awareness about Down syndrome.
"Our students have done an amazing job," said second-grade teacher Michelle Mannon.
The check was presented to the association the day after World Down Syndrome Day, a global awareness day that has been observed by the United Nations since 2012.
