Team Kentucky needs our help

Thorobreds, it’s time to show Team Kentucky what we’re all about. 

Team Kentucky is still in need of personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical supplies such as nitrile gloves, face masks, N95 ventilators, respirators, goggles and gowns. 

Kentucky State University has already assisted by redirecting Honda Campus All-Star Challenge funds to Team Kentucky to purchase PPE, but the front lines still need our help. 

At this time, we’re asking any faculty or staff member who has contact or influence with an organization that can donate to Team Kentucky to do so in this time of need.

You can also donate the items online at https://secure.kentucky.gov/formservices/TeamKentucky/PPE , or by calling 833-GIVE-PPE (833-448-3773). PPE donations are also accepted at all 16 Kentucky State Police posts and at Transportation Cabinet offices in Louisville and Lexington.
