SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — Proceeds from the sale of 2,810 T-shirts at Big Y Stores will go to a Newtown scholarship fund.
The black T-shirts feature a green ribbon and white lettering that reads, “We are Newtown 12.14.12." They were hung at cashier stations and sold for $20 each.
“A big thanks to everyone for the incredibly generous contribution,” Big Y wrote on its Facebook page.
While the shirts are no longer available for sale in Big Y stores, they can still be purchased at www.wearenewtown.org.
