“We realize this is a challenging time for families and wearing any type of mask can be daunting,” Edward Park, senior vice president, Disney store and shopDisney, said in a statement. “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.”
Disney says it plans to donate up to $1 million in profits from the sales of the masks in the U.S. to Medshare, a Georgia-based nonprofit that delivers medical supplies and equipment to needy hospitals worldwide.
Disney is also donating one million face masks to Medshare for children and families in underserved communities across the U.S., the company said.
