With the COVID-19, some manufacturers have stepped up to help our country by switching their production lines from their normal assembly to certain pieces for Personal Protective Equipment. Austin McCarl’s latest sponsor has done just that.
Based out of Bradner, Ohio, Real-Geese Silhouette Decoys manufactures several different models of silhouette decoys for the waterfowl hunter. As of March, they changed some of their assembly lines to produce face shields to help protect the spread of COVID-19.
This morning, 2018 Knoxville Raceway Champion, Austin McCarl donated 700, Real-Geese, face shields to one Knoxville Hospital & Clinics. Mark Worrall, Director of Operations at Knoxville Hospital and Clinics received the donation, which took place at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum.
Real-Geese Silhouette Decoys owners, Les and Craig Mintz, made all of this possible. McCarl says it feels good to be part of a company, that does great things. “I am very proud that Real-Geese Silhouette Decoys were able to help out and donate 700 face shields back to Knoxville Hospital and Clinics to help keep everyone safe and healthy.”
“The face shields will serve as another layer of protection as our healthcare providers and patients visit one-on-one,” said Kevin Stittsworth, Director of Foundation and Public Relations at Knoxville Hospital & Clinics. “We truly appreciate Austin’s and Real Geese Silhouette Decoys’ generosity and support of our hospital staff, especially as we continue to care for and protect our community during this unprecedented time.”
