Okay Bearsis one of the leading projects developed in the Solana network and recently announced the partnership with a global health organization called (RED) to launch products and services to help fund the international efforts of this non-profit, non-governmental organization related mostly to global health and disease.
This collaboration is a great step towards the effective use of non-fungible tokens, as we can see how the different projects are interested in addressing crucial issues that are being experienced globally. Highlights of the products include T-shirts, hoodies, T-shirts and wristbands with the (RED) branding.In addition, a large portion of the proceeds will go to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
On the other hand, Okay Bearsis a brand of digital collectibles in the format of NFTs and has since created a large Web3 community with more than 120 thousand followers on Twitter who seek to inspire through art and code.
(RED)RED, the organization founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver in 2006, fights AIDS and global health injustices. Both projects aim to join forces to raise money to help fight pandemics and save lives.
The alliance was confirmed at the NFT.NYC event when the two organizations announced to launch a limited edition collection of merchandising “Okay Bears – (RED).Okay Bears – (RED)“, which includes all of the products I reviewed above.
