I can confidently say this statement is true because ABC is a reputable news station that posted footage of the live event. The video you've attached shows a legitimate image of a representative from the Eugene Education Foundation receiving a $40,000 check from the Oregon Athletics Touchdown for Teacher Program. The event is current, the headline aligns with the article's content, and thousands of witnesses can confirm that it occurred.

While ABC is a reliable source of information it would better serve your claim to find a secondary source that also supports your claim.

Good job defending your claim, although this claim is true I would recommend you back your claim up with links, and make sure to cross-check your sources too. ABC is a reputable news source, but I would recommend to cross-check different quotes and specific wording to find where they originated from. Great fact-check.
