Our COVID-19 T-Shirts
Anthony, a student at Skills Academy, has chosen to use his Economic Impact Payment for a community service project. Here is information about his t-shirt fundraiser for coronavirus first responders, if you would like to support this project.
Fox 21 News interviewed Anthony and his grandmother about his project–you might want a tissue or two handy when you watch it:
