AUSTIN, Texas — Fans of Austin FC are showing support for the Uvalde community after Tuesday's tragedy.
The Austin FC supporter group Los Verdes started a GoFundMe campaign for the families of the 19 children and two teachers killed in Tuesday's shooting at Robb Elementary School.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this event, and we are actively working with the city council members of Uvalde on making sure these donations go directly to those families," the campaign description reads in part. "In these challenging times, we will mourn with those affected, and as a group, we will also take action and lend support to all those involved!
The campaign has already surpassed its initial goal of $100,000, thanks in part to the fact that the entire Austin FC roster has shared the GoFundMe link to their Instagram stories.
As of Thursday evening, more than $180,000 has been donated.
