T-shirt to help fund Obama Elementary name change
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - Concerned about the cost of renaming a school? Well, now you can help.
The Richmond School Board voted in June to rename J.E.B Stuart Elementary for Barack Obama.
The move is expected to cost $26,000, and there's now a T-shirt for sale to help fund that expense.
Superintendent Jason Kamras tweeted the link to the online store where the shirt can be purchased, and said all proceeds from the sales will go toward funding the renaming of the school.
The shirt is available for $19.95.
The online store says the shirt will be available until July 29. Orders will ship Aug. 6.
A note under the shirt says the goal is to sell 3,000, but the site's goal is listed as 999 with more than 450 already sold.
