That decision inspired the 30-year-old to launch Gowns 4 Good , an initiative that gathers and repurposes graduation gowns as PPE. Donations of graduation gowns poured in from all across the US. Nathaniel Moore started Gowns 4 Good to help provide health care workers with PPE.

The upcycling of the gowns also became a way to honor those graduates who missed out on the traditional graduation, Moore said.
