2020 HIGHLIGHTS
Since Until We Do It was founded last spring, we have delivered nearly 1M masks to vulnerable communities in 25 states and Puerto Rico; supported BLM protests and Juneteenth celebrations in 6 cities, shared our story on Cosmo, Vogue, and the Today show; and beat our $60,000 fundraising goal in under a week! This would not have been possible without our partners, sponsors, and supporters, including Ashley Graham, Bella Canvas, Whitney Port and Rent The Runway, New Balance, AvKare, Reformation, Lucky Brand, APC Collective, and The Real Real. We’re excited to continue serving communities in 2021, and we can’t wait to continue proving that solving the most critical problems might seem impossible — Until We Do It.
