LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
May 21, 2020
Just in time for Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Izzy Camilleri, founder and head designer of the innovative and inclusive clothing brand, IZ Adaptive, today announced a partnership with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. Camilleri and her team at IZ Adaptive, a revolutionary apparel brand designed for people living with a physical disability, have adjusted their time and resources to produce consumer face masks, the proceeds of which will benefit the foundation.
The chic, denim masks are available in adult and children’s sizes and in-keeping with the mission of IZ Adaptive, are also adapted for people with physical disabilities. 20% of all mask sales in the US and Canada moving forward will be donated to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The eco-friendly, washable fabric masks are made from a densely-woven poly cotton and spandex blend following the protocol established for consumer use. Masks are $15 and can be purchased online beginning today at http://www.izadaptive.com.
Prior to partnering with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, IZ Adaptive masks were made available in mid-April through a one-for-one donation partnership with Maison Birks. Since the launch, more than 10,000 masks have been donated to Canadian hospitals.
“We are pleased and honored to be selected as a beneficiary of IZ Adaptive’s work to support the paralysis community during these challenging times,” said Aimee Hunnewell, Chief Development Officer, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. “This effort underscores the company’s deep understanding of the special circumstances and inherent health risks associated with COVID-19 that will become more challenging for those living with paralysis. We thank IZ Adaptive for its compassion and dedication to our community.”
