Patriots president Jonathan Kraft joined Toucher & Rich on Friday to talk about the team's latest efforts in the global battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kraft details the work that he and his father Robert Kraft did with members of the Patriots organization and the Mass. government to secure 1.7 million surgical masks from manufacturers in China. Most of the masks were flown back to the U.S. on Thursday via the Patriots' team plane, after an arduous weeks-long process.
