The owners of the Dulles Greenway said this week that their third annual Drive for Charity event raised $198,000.
The money -- which represents all the tolls collected on May 15 -- will be donated to the March of Dimes, the Loudoun County chapter of the Special Olympics, the Loudoun Abused Women's Shelter, Fresh Air/Full Care and the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy.
Some of the proceeds also will fund 12 Dulles Greenway scholarships given to Loudoun County high school seniors.
The event raised $15,000 more than last year's Drive for Charity, officials said.
