A Powerful Partnership to Support Schools Across America
When it comes to making a difference, sometimes it takes a team effort. Accelerate’s active lifestyle brand, LifeToGo, has teamed up with Mark Wahlberg’s Performance Inspired to give back to communities in need. Amid the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, these two powerhouse brands decided to do something extraordinary. On September 22, they announced a generous donation of 1.3 million disposable face masks to students and teachers across 13 states. This isn’t just about handing out masks—it’s about ensuring that schools have the resources they need to keep everyone safe while focusing on education.
Accelerate’s Chief Executive Officer, David Parry, shared the sentiment behind the initiative. “At Accelerate, we deeply value our partnerships with retail partners and wanted to show our support for schools in their communities,” he said. The donation was carefully coordinated to reach those who needed it most. Thirteen school districts were selected, ranging from Bentonville, Arizona, to Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Each location received 3-ply masks, ensuring that both students and teachers had access to reliable personal protective equipment (PPE).
Mark Wahlberg’s Heartfelt Message to Educators and Essential Workers
Mark Wahlberg, founder of Performance Inspired, echoed the sentiment of giving back. “This is an incredible opportunity to partner with LifeToGo and help students and educators across the country stay healthy and safe,” he said. Wahlberg didn’t stop at words—he recorded a heartfelt video message thanking essential workers and teachers for their tireless efforts during this challenging time. To further show their appreciation, the brands also erected billboards in the chosen cities, celebrating the bravery and dedication of essential workers.

A Match Made in Health and Safety
The collaboration between LifeToGo and Performance Inspired feels like destiny. LifeToGo is no stranger to keeping people safe, with a robust lineup of personal protection equipment (PPE) that includes hand sanitizers, gloves, disinfectant wipes, cloth and disposable face masks, PPE safety kits, and immunity-boosting supplements. On the other hand, Performance Inspired, co-founded by Wahlberg and industry expert Tom Dowd, is all about inspiring healthier lifestyles through natural and trustworthy supplements. What’s more, they donate two percent of their net profits to charity, making this mask donation another meaningful way to give back to the community.
