American Eagle Outfitters has launched the AE Foundation to address the mental health crisis among young people, partnering with Glenn Close’s Bring Change to Mind (BC2M). Jennifer Foyle, president and executive creative director of AE & Aerie, stated: “Now more than ever, it’s crucial for us to help our customer and associate community prioritise their well-being”. The foundation’s first initiative includes a $100,000 Signature Grant to BC2M, aimed at expanding its high school programme. Chase Stokes, known for his role in “Outer Banks”, played a key role in this partnership, embodying the brand’s ethos of self-expression and mental health advocacy. The AE Foundation also plans to issue Community Grants and support local organizations, ensuring resources reach those in need.
