CHICAGO—Blueair, a leader in air purification for home and professional use, announced it has donated more than $1 million in cash to U.S. hospitals, schools and a Chicago nonprofit in alignment with Giving Tuesday 2020. The company is also donating air purifiers to organizations it is supporting, extending clean indoor air access to the communities they serve.
At a time when more than ever people are in need, a recent Gallup poll found that fewer people are able to provide support through charitable giving—with giving expected to be down nearly 10 percent this year. Blueair was founded on the principle of providing access to clean air for children—for the next generation. And in a year where air quality is so important, Blueair wanted to give back even more to communities hit hardest.
“As a business we were fortunate to thrive this year given we provide a product that keeps consumers healthy at the precipice of clean air concern. It is Blueair’s mission to provide access to clean air, which was incredibly important this year due to the impacts of the global pandemic and rapidly changing climate,” said Andy Lu, General Manager, North America and Head of Global eCommerce for Blueair. “This has been an extremely challenging year for many, and at Blueair we see it as our responsibility to give back and support those communities in need.”
Blueair is committed to creating the safest environment for children and the community they are a part of to develop and grow. A purpose-driven company, Blueair focuses on supporting the next generation—particularly those most disadvantaged, and those most affected by air pollution. With that, this Giving Tuesday Blueair supported organizations across the country including four hospitals, eleven schools and a Chicago-based community organization.
