The washable, reusable, three-layer masks are a sustainable alternative to disposable masks. They check all the boxes for those wanting to make an eco-friendly, socially conscious choice, while helping keep themselves and others healthy, says BraveFace co-founder Kemp Edwards.
91ƵBraveFace is committed to creating masks that people want to wear and that they feel good about wearing. Not only are our masks crafted from 50 per cent certified organic cotton and 50 per cent recycled PET plastic, but they91Ƶre manufactured and distributed locally, principles at the core of who we are,91Ƶ Edwards notes. 91ƵIt91Ƶs in our DNA to help.91Ƶ
Fulfillment is by Vancouver91Ƶs , a social enterprise operated by the Developmental Disabilities Association.
Each pack of masks features three fun, fashionable mask designs, providing a style to suit every setting. Selling for $36 for three children91Ƶs masks, or $42 for three youth or adult masks, all the net proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which like many other charities has seen a significant decline in donations during the pandemic. The need, however, remains high as ever.
91ƵAt Make-A-Wish, we are still granting magical wishes, although none involving travel, so we have more wish kids waiting for their wishes than ever before due to COVID. We are so grateful for the support of businesses like Black Press Media and BraveFace in helping us give the gift of Hope, Strength and Joy to so many inspiring children now, and as our world gets back to normal,91Ƶ says Ross Hetherington, CEO of Make-A-Wish Foundation BC & Yukon.
The Foundation grants wishes to children aged three through 17 years with life-threatening medical conditions. The local non-profit is part of the largest wish-granting organization in the world, making dreams and wishes come true for more than 450,000 children since 1980.
For Black Press Media, with 72 publications in communities throughout BC and Yukon, the BraveFace partnership was an ideal way to make a difference for local families, and in a way that91Ƶs especially meaningful as we work to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
91ƵBlack Press Media is at the heart of the communities we serve, telling the stories that matter, and providing organizations and businesses with the marketing tools to grow and share their success. The opportunity to join BraveFace in support of Make-A-Wish comes at a vital time both for the charity and the children it supports, and for all of us here in BC and Yukon,91Ƶ says Andrew Franklin, Vice President, Canadian Digital Operations, Black Press Media.
