Prize winners in the T-shirt design contest at Roxboro.

The Dougbe River project has received another big boost from the children of Roxboro Elementary School in Cleveland Heights. On Saturday, April 30, Roxboro held a “Sidewalk Challenge” fund-raising event. Several dozen students participated in games and a one-mile walk around the Roxboro neighborhood, and they raised $780. Many thanks to the students, the adult volunteers (many associated with Roxboro or Noble Road Presbyterian Church) and the event’s organizers — Roxboro principal Tara Grove and Parma-South Presbyterian Church elder Susan Rhee. Tara and Susan are both members of the Dougbe River board.
Some of the money came from advance sales of a T-shirt designed by Roxboro student Ruby Kauffman, whose art was selected from many entries. We’re selling the shirts for $10; orders are being accepted at john@drpsl.org.
