Dozens Show They're 'Boston Strong' in Copley

The Emerson College students who designed the t-shirts dropped off a check for nearly $900,000 with the One Fund Boston.

Despite overcast skies, several dozen people donned their "Boston Strong" t-shirts Tuesday in Copley Square after the shirt designers dropped off a check for nearly $900,000 with the One Fund Boston.

Emerson College students Nicholas Reynolds and Chris Dobens came up with the idea for the shirts hours after the Boston Marathon bombings April 15. They couldn't have imagined the outpouring of support they've seen over nearly two months.

On Tuesday, they wanted to gather as many people in their "Boston Strong" shirts as they could for a group photo.
