Colts Owner Jim Irsay Is Donating More Than 10,000 Masks To Indiana
Robert Kraft isn’t the only NFL owner stepping up to help their community.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay announced Sunday he’s bought more than 10,000 N-95 protective masks and will be donating them to the Indiana Department of Health as the COVID-19 pandemic ravages the United States.
The masks are just one piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) in short supply nationwide due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Irsay tweeted the information along with “#INthistogether” on Sunday.
Just procured 10,000+ masks ( N-95) and am passing them along to Indiana State Dept. of Health for distribution as most urgently needed.#INthistogether

This isn’t the first time Irsay has made a donation in the wake of the coronavirus crisis, either. The Colts owner also donated $1,000,000 to the Gleaners Food Bank in Indianapolis in March, per EPSN.
Of the 22,652 people tested in Indiana, 4,411 tested positive for the coronavirus while 127 had died as of Sunday, per the state.
