Coronavirus relief efforts: 24 brands are uniting to donate proceeds to Brands for Better initiative

Best in Golf

Several golf companies have stepped up to help those in need during the coronavirus outbreak by developing face-masks at their production facilities. The growing list includes Seamus Golf, Summit Golf Brands, Foray Golf, IS Golf and Rhoback. Outside of golf, a collection of 24 brands have come together to launch an initiative called Brands For Better to give back to those affected by COVID-19. Participating brands will donate either a portion of gross sales or proceeds April 1 through May 1 to a charity of their choosing.

The endeavor aims to support those in need, while also supporting conscious consumer spending and keeping the economy functioning. Each brand maintains strong ethical standards throughout the production and distribution project to ensure safety for both the workforce and customers. Product categories range from apparel to tech accessories, home goods to grocery. We’ve highlighted a few brands participating, with a full list below.
