The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
Volleyball stars across the country hosted online raffles for their personal jerseys and other memorabilia to raise funds to buy medical supplies for COVID-19 frontliners.
The supplies have been purchased and are ready for distribution nationwide.
At least 310 personal protective equipment (PPEs) have already been made and are ready to be sent to Mindanao.
Additionally, a thousand each of surgical caps and surgical gloves for frontliners have also been produced from the funds raised.
There are also around 650 to 700 more microfiber PPEs in production for their beneficiary hospitals.
The country’s biggest volleyball stars have participated in the efforts like national team stalwart Alyssa Valdez, DLSU legend Manilla Santos and men’s volleyball star Marck Espejo.
Raffles are still ongoing with more volleyball stars joining the cause. Interested fans can see the rules and mechanics of the raffle on the group’s social media assets.
