The New England Patriots team plane is being used to transport more than a million N95 masks, an item desperately needed by medical personnel during the coronavirus pandemic, from China to the U.S.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft and his family handled the logistics for the deal and donated $2 million, about half the total cost for the masks, to the transaction, according to the Wall Street Journal.
“In today’s world, those of us who are fortunate to make a difference have a significant responsibility to do so with all the assets we have available to us,” Kraft said.
