CEO Brian Ball spoke about his desire to help our community during this tough time.
"I’ve had incredible role models my whole life, especially my dad and my grandpa. They have been really effective at taking a bad situation and figuring out how to make it a good one," said Brian Ball, CEO of Ernie Ball Inc. "It’s the ethos of our family and our business. So right now, it’s our duty to use the equipment that we have to help our community."
The company has donated several masks to non-profits in need, including Martha's Village and ACT for Multiple Sclerosis, as well as first responders, food banks, local farmworkers and agricultural companies.
