XpresSpa Group Announces Collaboration with the “Go Give One” Campaign by the World Health Organization Foundation
July 30 2021 - 9:26AM
XpresSpa Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: XSPA) ("XpresSpa" or the "Company"),
a health and wellness company, today announced their partnership
with the “Go Give One” campaign, created by the WHO Foundation,
which is dedicated to funding COVID-19 vaccines worldwide in the
fight to reduce the growing vaccine equity gap. The Company will
match customer donations up to $100,000.
“Go Give One” was established to develop new ways for
individuals and businesses to invest in the health of our
collective world. With a small number of rich countries rolling out
the majority of COVID-19 vaccine doses, many countries are being
left behind and unable to vaccinate their populations. “Go Give
One” is a COVID-19 fundraising campaign without borders. It calls
on everyone who can participate and play their part in helping to
vaccinate the world.
“We are honored to have been selected to partner and support
this incredible campaign in the fight against COVID-19 for those in
lower-income countries lacking access to critical vaccinations,”
said Doug Satzman, XpresSpa CEO. “Over the last year, XpresSpa
Group has become a leading on-site airport provider of COVID-19
screenings and testing across the U.S. through our XpresCheck
brand. Our investment in the health and wellness of our customers
has opened up the door for this meaningful partnership, which we
hope to continue to grow in the future.”
“Go Give One” allows people anywhere in the world to fund Gavi
COVAX AMC directly. Gavi COVAX AMC funds COVID-19 vaccines for
lower-income countries, helping protect those who need vaccines the
most.
"The ‘Go Give One’ campaign is working with global and national
businesses and encouraging others to join in a variety of ways,
including activating their employees and customers to give, and
offering to match these donations. We're calling on individuals to
help end the pandemic, together making sure we get vaccines to
everyone everywhere,” said Anil Soni, CEO of the WHO
Foundation.
The campaign reflects how COVID-19 has been experienced at a
local level while also providing a global solution that we can all
share in and benefit from. Starting at $5, individual donations can
now directly fund vaccines for the world to help end the pandemic,
making sure vaccines are made equally available.
