Manassas, Va. - The merchants of Bull Run Plaza in Manassas donated $1,000 to Baldwin Elementary School as part of the shopping center’s holiday promotion.

Waldrep's co-worker has a daughter in first grade at the school. In addition to a $1,000 donation to the school, Waldrep won a $1,000 shopping spree to Bull Run Plaza for herself.
