BOY MEETS GIRL® has teamed with Survivor Corps to bring you community masks at a time of need, and give back. Survivor Corps was formed to provide research institutes with an easy way to connect with COVID-19 survivors directly, so the sickest among us can be helped without further delay. Friday, April 3, 2020, the government of America endorsed the use of face masks acknowledging they help reduce the spread of infectious diseases. Survivor Corps will receive 50% of the net proceeds from every BOY MEETS GIRL® x SURVIVOR CORPS sale.

"BOY MEETS GIRL® by Stacy Igel was a natural fit for us. Stacy has created a brand that gives back to causes time and time again. She always seems to find a way to spread awareness while inspiring change and that is what Survivor Corps is all about."

- Diana Berrent

Diana Berrent, a Port Washington mother, had been a prisoner in her own bedroom after testing positive for the coronavirus. She became one of the first people on Long Island to contract COVID-19. She decided she would get better and find a way to help others once she was well. Stuck in her bedroom, she decided she had to find a way to connect survivors like herself to medical studies in order to help save lives.

“Survivor Corps is a grassroots organization that exists as a public page on Facebook and Instagram, a public group that anyone can join that posts information for survivors and a website that has an opt-in database to help survivors connect to medical research institutions who need to use survivors blood and plasma to study this virus."

“I feel incredibly lucky to have survived COVID-19, but others may not be so lucky,” says Berrent. “I strongly encourage people who have already had COVID-19 to consider being screened; it’s one of the most important ways to help other patients right now. Please check out our Survivor Corps to learn more about how you can be a superhero and save lives."

DISCLAIMER: This not an N95 or N95-equivalent & is not designed to be a substitute for respirators. CDC guidelines recommend that healthcare professionals use respirators when available while treating patients with known or suspected COVID-19. Our mask alone can't be guaranteed to stop the virus, however using the mask with a filter will lower your risk of contracting it, pair with consistent hand-washing, and other healthy practices.

Loved it!

Good quality! However, I couldn’t see dimensions. Large or extra large. I ordered large, but it is tight on my face. I should have ordered extra large. If you have a larger head and longer face go up to the next size. A metal piece at the nose bridge would have been great. Glad to support the cause.

Fell apart!

The mask breaths well and fits pretty well, but the strap fell apart after a dozen or so uses. I'll re-stich it, but for what the mask costs, this is not acceptable.
