Front Line Defenders and At Risk Populations to Receive 15,000 Masks from GTCB
With an estimated cost of $30,000, the campaign will commence with 5,000 face masks to be distributed to the elderly through skilled nursing homes, board and care facilities, and assisted living homes; 5,000 to support homeless camps and nonprofits supporting the homeless population; and 5,000 for our nation’s veterans in collaboration with VA hospitals and the US Department of Veterans Affairs. Pledges of $5 or more are eligible for a variety of rewards.
There are no factories, no mass productions. Rather, dedicated seamstresses volunteer their time to make this world a better place. The campaign can be accessed at https://bit.ly/34iRAN6.
How can I share this information with family, friends, and colleagues?
It’s easy, and Global Team Corona Busters has provided collateral material for your convenience.
- But first, make a personal pledge on their Kickstarter campaign. Pledges of any amount are greatly appreciated, and your personal pledge will entice others to participate.
- Download their flyer and share with your family, friends, and colleagues. Let them know how appreciative you are of your recent shipment from Global Team Corona Busters. Tell others why you want to save lives, and ask them to match or exceed your pledge.

Or make a difference with your charitable gift along with these options to consider
Make a difference. Team Corona Busters relies on the generosity of its many supporters and volunteers to further its charitable purposes. Gifts of all sizes are needed and appreciated.
1. Donate with a Financial Contribution
At Team Corona Busters, it costs approximately $5 each in materials to produce one face mask. This does not include labor, just supplies (fabric, binding tape, etc.). Let’s do the math. It costs approximately $500 to produce 100 masks. It’s an expensive venture and Team Corona Busters needs your financial support.
Team Corona Busters is an internal nonprofit project of GVNG.org, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Team Corona Buster’s mission is to provide healthcare supplies across the globe during a public health crisis or catastrophic event. Currently, they have a team of busters across the globe, sewing and distributing healthcare face masks to our front line defenders in response to the COVID-19 coronovirus pandemic. This is an urgent issue.
