NIKE,Inc. made a 10 million RMB donation to the China Youth Development Foundation. Nike’s donation to the China Youth Development Foundation helped provide frontline health and medical workers with the supplies and equipment they needed to comfort patients and address the spread of the coronavirus. Focused on areas of highest need,the funding also supports ongoing relief and longer-term recovery efforts.
On 9 February,260 volunteer medical staff from different hospitals in Suzhou were leaving to provide medical help in Wuhan. Hearing this,Nike swiftly put together a batch of Nike shoes with the right sizes and donated them to the volunteer medical team before they set off.
When feedback from the frontline revealed that the medical staff was running short of down coats and dry tops because of intense working conditions,Nike again decided to step up. Nike collaborated with CYDF to donate and distribute more than one thousand coats and tops to Wu Han No.1 Hospital. To overcome the difficulty in delivery at the time,Nike expedited the logistics by working with its TaiCang CLC(Nike China Logistics Center)team and delivered the products to the hospital on 21 February.
