A Facebook post on July 2 introducing the campaign reads:

By wearing your mask, you’re doing your part to protect others. We all wear ours for someone. Share a selfie of you rocking your mask in the comments below, along with our hashtag, and tell us who YOU wear a mask for! We’ll feature our favorites on our social media channels. #IWearAMaskFor


In a news release, the health care provider said: "Wearing a mask reduces your chance of spreading and catching COVID-19. You wear a mask to protect others, they wear a mask to protect you."
