G2 Esports has announced the release of #G2ARMY-themed non-medical face masks, with all proceeds going to support Charité, one of Europe’s largest university hospitals.
The Berlin-based esports organisation is launching the initiative to help support those on the front-line battling against COVID-19. Mastercard, a partner G2 Esports, will be covering all production and shipping costs of the masks, and watching all profits to support Charité.
Discussing the news G2 Esports CEO, Carlos “ocelote” Rodriguez, explained:
“We realize this is a challenging time for our fans around the world and want to do our part to fight against the coronavirus pandemic and support our communities.
“We are grateful for the brave front line medical workers who leave their homes every day so that we can stay safe in ours. It’s our hope that with the release of a branded G2 face mask, we can collectively come together as the #G2ARMY to play our part in fighting against COVID-19 while supporting our everyday heroes – healthcare workers.”
While Vice President Marketing Communications at Mastercard Germany & Switzerland, Jessica Claar, added:
“We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with G2 Esports also during these unprecedented times. On top of the remote experiences we already delivered with G2, it is great to see that this partnership also supports the enormously important and valuable work of Charité.”
AYO.NEWS says:
With face masks the new must-have accessory, this is a great initiative from G2 Esports and Mastercard, and we imagine they’ll prove very popular. With experts predicting COVID-19 could be with us for a long time to come, and more waves of infection expected later this year, it’s important to keep up the fight.
Staying with G2 Esports, a couple of weeks ago we reported the organisation had hired Jordan Bellar as its new New York City-based Business Development Manager.
