TOLEDO, Ohio – Team Sports, a sportswear company located in Holland, Ohio and a longtime supporter of Rocket Athletics, has raised more than $7,000 for UToledo students through the sale of face masks that feature the Toledo Rocket logo. Team Sports also has been selling t-shirts with "Toledo Rocket Strong" emblazoned on the front as part of their fundraising initiative.
 
Matt Eberly, senior account representative of Team Sports, said over 1,000 online orders have been placed in the past 10 days, raising more than $7,000 for UToledo's COVID-19 Student Emergency Fund. Orders were closed yesterday, but Team Sports plans to reopen a new order portal very soon.
 
"We want to thank The University of Toledo for partnering with us to help support the Rocket/COVID-19 Emergency Fund," said Eberly. "We also want to thank everyone in Rocket Nation who purchased a face mask or a "Toledo Strong" shirt. Their response has been absolutely amazing as we have raised well over $7,000 so far. We hope to break the $8,000 barrier to help support this great cause."
 
"We are more than grateful for the generosity of Team Sports and their willingness to support UToledo students," said Billy Pierce, UToledo's associate vice president of alumni engagement. "Because of them, and everyone that purchased items in support of this effort, we can assist more students that need help during this pandemic."
 
Eberly said that orders that have been placed should be received by mail soon. He added that there will be another opportunity for customers to order Rocket face masks. Information on how to place those orders will be announced tomorrow.
