Unused funds will be donated to charities designed to help families seeking their missing persons, along with charities Harrington was involved with, notable the Mental Health America of Roanoke Valley organization, which Harrington volunteered with since middle school.

Harrington was last seen near the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, wearing a black t-shirt with the name of band Pantera printed in tan lettering, a black mini skirt, black tights, and black boots. Anyone with knowledge of her whereabouts is encouraged to call 434-352-3467.

In her parents’ statement, the Harringtons thanked the public for the “outpouring of support” and for “all your thoughts and prayers.”
