On Sunday morning, supporters greeted students as they crossed the State Street Bridge. The 66-mile march began on Fri. More than $7,000 in monetary donations were received by the students from alums, fraternities, and nonprofit organizations. The 13 students have also received donations from strangers, including Moyers Furniture owners.

“The owner of it [Moyers Furniture] came out, and she said, ‘What’s the cause?’ We told her about it, and she went back into her establishment, and she wrote a $500 check for us — then and there. That’s when it hit; I guess it hit me so clear that we had a movement behind us,” one of the students said.
