The Best Milestone Yet

Than Moore prepares shipments of Gowns4Good to medical facilities in need. Fill out this form to donate your graduation gown today!

Burlington, VT. April 23, 2020. It’s all systems go here at Gowns4Good. As you probably saw, over the weekend we made a big pivot in how we operate in order to get gowns to healthcare workers faster. Since then, your gown donations have continued to stream in — only now they’re going directly to Gowns4Good-requesting hospitals, and we’re tracking numbers with every donation form submission.

Thanks to all your Gowns4Good support, I’m excited to share that we’re about to hit (or have just surpassed!) a few big milestones:

• 2,000 individual gown donations (from 45 U.S. states)

• $2,500 in contributions

• 15,000 Twitter impressions

• 20,000 unique visitors to gowns4good.net

• 50,000 gowns requested (by 200 medical facilities)

But for me, the best milestone we’ve hit yet does not come in the form of a big number:

We just had our first medical facility let us know that they’ve received all the Gowns4Good they requested, thanks to your donations.

With this one stat, we know that your outpouring of donations, of support, of gowns (from the back of your closets, from your community drive-throughs, from your choir groups, and beyond!) is making a difference.

Thanks for being a part of our mission to protect healthcare workers. We couldn’t do this without you. Let’s keep going.
