Break the Outbreak

Aurora
Meet The Team
We are a group of high-schoolers from Aurora, IL who aim to create face masks and face shields to donate them to local businesses, restaurants, and grocery stores that do not have any. The purpose of our project “Break the Outbreak – Aurora” is to assist the public in staying safe and healthy in these unprecedented times.
Karthik Kumar
Director – Aurora Chapter
I joined Break the Outbreak because I wanted to make an impact on my community, especially in these tough times. I felt so powerless when the pandemic hit and I felt like as a young person there was nothing I could do. When I found Break the Outbreak I knew this would be a way to actually make an impact in my community and beyond.

Financial Officer – Aurora Chapter
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has not directly affected me in a significant way, it is extremely visible that this pandemic has had a severe impact. Several of those tragedies are a direct result of a lack of respiratory protection. Being able to aid my community in becoming more aware of those in need through simple actions of protecting themselves has become an important goal in my life.

I want to join BTOB because I have always wanted to help people. I think that this is one of the best ways to contribute to our community while making connections with people apart from school. I know that many people are suffering right now due to the outbreak and other preconditions, so I wanted to take this opportunity to help them in any way possible.

PPE Producer – Aurora Chapter
I want to help with the Break the Outbreak after seeing the disastrous effects of the coronavirus. I have helped to distribute face shields before and have seen the huge demand for them by essential and medical workers, which is why I want to help out more with the Outbreak Project.
