Jasmine Sanchez started Vessel Athletics during sophomore year at San José State University. The company launched "The Run Continues" -- a virtual run supporting small businesses, local restaurants, and those affected by COVID-19. The contributor writes, "This initiative was hosted in partnership with First Community Housing and the Bay Area Run Crew. The event took place from Fri, May 1st to Sun, May 3rd and was free to sign up . . . In just 3 days, 71 runners participated and Vessel Athletics raised over $700 in donations which will go towards purchasing gift cards from locally-owned restaurants and donating them to individuals/families affected by COVID-19."
