(DETROIT) - The Ilitch Companies -- a group that includes the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Red Wings, along with Little Caesars and other companies -- has opened a facility in the Detroit area to produce protective masks. Employees from across the organization are helping with the effort, which will try to produce about 60,000 masks per day. The masks will be donated to community groups and organizations that need them, as well as to employees, franchises, customers, fans and guests. A spokesman for the effort said the project is following strict guidelines from the CDC, local and state authorities and other health organizations to ensure the safety of the staff.
