Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns announced Sunday he is donating $100,000 to the Mayo Clinic and its efforts to help combat coronavirus.
Towns made the announcement on Instagram as the Mayo Clinic begins rolling out a test for COVID-19, an illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
“My hope is that we can fight this virus quicker and more efficiently by increasing the testing capabilities and availability and Mayo Clinic’s overall COVID-19 response,” Towns wrote on Instagram. “This is why I will be donating $100K to support these efforts. Thank you to the Mayo Clinic workers and all healthcare workers who are working around the clock to treat us.
