    UVALDE, Texas — The shooting that claimed the lives of 19 schoolchildren and two adults has had a devastating affect on employees at the Uvalde Proving Grounds, home to Continental Tire the Americas L.L.C.'s research and development facility.

    Three ways have been established to donate money in order to support families directly affected by the tragic event, which occurred May 24 at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

    The First State Bank of Uvalde has established an account for donations. Those who want to donate to the Robb School Memorial Fund, may call the bank at 830-278-6231. Direct questions to Roxanne Hernandez, Chance Neutze or Cody Smith .

    Donations may be dropped off at any First State Bank locations, or may be mailed to: P.O. Box 1908, Uvalde Texas 78802. Checks should be made payable to Robb School Memorial Fund.

    Donations are also being accepted through the Zelle digital payment network. Donations may be sent to [email protected] If Zelle requests a first and last name, use Robb as the first name and School as the last name.

    The Uvalde Proving Grounds encompasses nearly 5,000 acres at the base of the Texas Hill Country south of Uvalde, a town of 15,000-plus resident around 82 miles southwest of San Antonio.

    The facility features more than 30 test surfaces and specialty areas, including external testing as well as for emerging technologies such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) electric vehicle technology.

    Conti has owned the Uvalde facility since 1987, when the German-based tire maker purchased General Tire.
