Dear Saint Louis Fashion Fund Friends and Supporters,

Several of you have reached out to ask for the Gladitood website to donate to St. Louis Makers Unite for Medical Masks - the partnership between Saint Louis Fashion Fund and resident designer Michael Drummond -  to produce 14,000 masks in 45 days. The need is urgent, and production started this week! Please feel free to share this link with friends and colleagues.

A very special thanks to Mike Carr of Carr Textile Corporation for the donation of fabric, and to Michelle Trulaske for the extraordinary gift to cover the cost of paying the bank of 10 previously unemployed sewers.

Just yesterday, Michael and the Fashion Fund were mentioned in Women's Wear Daily as part of a story on the national effort to make masks.
