Castile Fundraiser Raises More Thank $84,000
By Ned Leebrick-Stryker
Fundraising inspired by Philando Castile has raised more than $84,000 in eight weeks to pay off school lunch debts in St. Paul public schools.
The amount of money is enough to cover the student lunch debt at all elementary, middle and high schools in the district, according to CNN.
"Philando Feeds the Children” began as a class project at Metropolitan State University, thanks to instructor Pam Fergus, the Pioneer Press reported.
Castile was killed by a police officer during a traffic stop in 2016.
“It’s a good way of taking anger from a situation and doing something good with it,” Fergus said.
