“It Starts With Her is a powerful phrase that perfectly
encapsulates the strength, perseverance and achievements of women
throughout history. In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re
proud to help empower a new generation of women in our local
communities,” said Bobby Amirshahi, senior vice president of
Macy’s, Inc. Corporate Communications and Girls, Inc. National
Board Member. “Through our partnership with Girls Inc. we hope to
impact and inspire the female leaders of tomorrow to be strong,
smart and bold.”
Community Give-Back
Mission Every One, Macy’s social purpose platform, directs
social impact work to the causes and communities that help shape a
brighter future for all, breaking down barriers to equity and
representation and empowering young people. In celebration of
Women’s History Month, Macy’s continues its partnership with Girls
Inc., a national organization focused on supporting the new
generation of women leaders through long-lasting mentoring
relationships and evidence-based programming to help girls navigate
gender, economic, and social barriers, and grow up healthy,
educated, and independent.
Between March 1-31, Macy’s and Girls Inc. will celebrate female
empowerment and education by hosting a charitable round-up
campaign. Funding supports STEM and college & career readiness
programming for girls ages 5-18 across the United States.
Throughout the month, customers can donate online or round-up their
in-store purchase amount and donate the extra change, up to $0.99,
to Girls Inc. Macy’s has partnered with Girls Inc. for more than
two decades, and since 2020, has raised over $4.4 million,
providing nearly 130,000 girls across the country access to
critical college and career readiness support, as well as
mentorship and development opportunities. The Girls Inc. mission to
inspire girls to be strong, smart, and bold, aligns with Mission
Every One’s goal to break down barriers for young people to help
realize their full potential to create a brighter future.
“We are grateful to Macy's for their continued partnership in
ensuring that girls have equitable access to STEM education and are
prepared for college and career,” said Stephanie J. Hull, President
and CEO of Girls Inc. “With this critical support girls build
confidence, and they can see themselves as leaders who are fully
capable of succeeding in an increasingly technological world.”
