Face-covering manufacturers FOCO and Industry Rag will also be amping up charity efforts through sales. They will donate one face covering for every one purchased to the benefiting charities.
NBA social responsibility and player programs president Kathy Behrens says the masks will help fans adhere to CDC safety guidelines while joining in the league’s efforts to aid those who have been directly affected by COVID-19.
