Just in time for Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Izzy Camilleri, founder and head designer of IZ Adaptive, has announced a partnership with Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. Camilleri and her team at IZ Adaptive, an apparel brand designed for people with a physical disability, have adjusted their time and resources to produce consumer face masks.
 
The chic, denim masks are available in adult and children’s sizes and in-keeping with the mission of IZ Adaptive, are also adapted for people with physical disabilities. IZ Adaptive reported that 20 per cent of all mask sales in the US and Canada moving forward will be donated to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation. The eco-friendly, washable fabric masks are made from a densely-woven poly cotton and spandex blend following the protocol established for consumer use. 
 
Prior to partnering with the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, IZ Adaptive masks were made available in mid-April through a one-for-one donation partnership with Maison Birks. Since the launch, more than 10,000 masks have been donated to Canadian hospitals.
 
“We are pleased and honoured to be selected as a beneficiary of IZ Adaptive’s work to support the paralysis community during these challenging times,” Aimee Hunnewell, chief development officer, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, said in a press release.
 
This effort underscores the company’s deep understanding of the special circumstances and inherent health risks associated with Covid-19 that will become more challenging for those living with paralysis. We thank IZ Adaptive for its compassion and dedication to our community.”
 
“From its inception, IZ Adaptive has prioritised empowerment through fashion,” Camilleri said. “We’re honoured to have found a way to further that mission during these uncertain times by providing safe and functional masks to consumers while supporting the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.”
