LIFE-CHANGING MASK RAISES $10M AUD

3rd February, 2021

Today, and thanks to you – our incredible team and customers – this life-changing mask has now raised $10M AUD globally to support Cotton On Foundation projects that keep kids healthy and in school.

Like all Cotton On Foundation product, 100% of proceeds from the sale of face masks support our global education and healthcare initiatives.

Your support helps make a real impact on the ground. Because of you, we’ve been able to support the most vulnerable children and communities during these tough times.
