To raise money, students at River City Science Academy came up with an idea to raise funds, allowing other students who would typically wear uniforms the option to "dress down" in clothes that fit their style for $5. Students could choose to donate any additional amount they wished. The school identified Team Rubicon to be the recipient of the funds, an international nonprofit founded by veterans.
