Grace Potter Live!
Tonight we’re inviting our partners and extended Masks4Missions family to join us at a special Grace Potter concert at Higher Ground Drive-In. As a native Vermonter and GIV alum, Grace Potter has graciously partnered with us to celebrate mask use, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the Governor’s Institute of Vermont (GIV), a core partner of Masks4Missions. Tonight’s preshow will feature Governor Phil Scott’s PSA on masks, founder Doug Altshuler, and a video reel of the outstanding work our partners have been doing across Vermont. If you haven’t yet purchased your ticket, please do so and join us in our culminating Vermont Mask Week event!
And we’re off!
Today I gave my first press conference on behalf of Masks4Missions. It was exciting and super positive, and I think the nerves I felt were only natural in representing a greater movement across the nation for masks and public safety! There was a huge amount of support from the press on the ground to our followers on our social media platforms to our amazing partners across the Vermont. Thank you all for empowering me and empowering Masks4Missions to move ahead with this ambitious goal of getting more masks out to the community as a way to foster connection and to raise awareness and support for our local nonprofits. Check out some of the articles that stemmed from today’s press conference on our Vermont Mask Day page.
An Exclusive: Vermont Mask Week previewed
This week we’ve got an exclusive for our readers – a preview of the Vermont Mask Week celebration! Next Monday we will launch with a special press conference, with invitations sent to all our local news stations. The momentum will carry into Tuesday, the official state-designed Vermont Mask Day, where Governor Phil Scott will be speaking at his press conference while celebrations are held simultaneously across high school and college campuses. Our stellar high school Social Media Ambassadors and college partners will be spreading the message of mask-wearing while also distributing Vermont Mask Day masks and hosting DIY mask “make and take” activity tables. On Wednesday we’ll be hosting a free public medical webinar with Dr. Tim Leahy to cover all, or most, of your questions about COVID-19 and masks. Throughout the week we’ll be asking partners and you (yes, you!) to promote masks and community to #KeepVtSafe in a social media contest, and winners will be announced at the preshow before Friday’s Grace Potter concert. Stay tuned for more details!
