Now you can fight coronavirus spread with Baby Yoda or Elsa using Disney’s new masks
Thanks to Disney, you don’t have to head “Into the Unknown” without the help of Elsa, Anna or even all the Avengers.
Disney is helping their fans protect themselves from the spread of COVID-19 by debuting their own line of reusable cloth face masks featuring fan-favorite characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars, according to ABC.
On Thursday, the company announced that not only can you purchase a set of four masks for $19.99at www.shopDisney.com, but that it will donate 1 million masks to families in vulnerable communities across the U.S.
“We realize this is a challenging time for families and wearing any type of mask can be daunting,” senior vice president of the Disney Store and shopDisney Edward Park said in a statement, according to Good Housekeeping. “Our hope is that Disney’s cloth face masks featuring some of our most beloved characters will provide comfort to the families, fans and communities that are so important to us.”
The masks, which come in three different sizes, are available for pre-order now but won’t ship until June, according to the website.
Disney will also donate profits up to $1 million from mask sales to Medshare through Sept. 30.
“Disney’s donations will make a tremendous impact in the communities we serve,” said Charles Redding, CEO and president of MedShare, according to Blog Mickey. “Their contribution of one million Disney cloth face masks will be provided to families in underserved communities and organizations working to limit the spread of COVID-19, while their monetary donation will be used to support the medical community’s ongoing efforts to provide lifesaving care to those who need it most.”
