Support from customers reaches all-time
high
New York & Company (NYSE: NWY) continues its long-standing
partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital® after a
successful spring fundraising campaign. New York & Company
exceeded its goal by raising $1.2 million for St. Jude, increasing
the Company’s fundraising efforts to nearly $25 million to date.
St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and
defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
“I am proud of all New York & Company associates and
customers who contributed to the success of this campaign. I
sincerely thank each member of our community who participated and I
look forward to our continued partnership with St. Jude,” says Greg
Scott, Chief Executive Officer, New York & Company. “We are a
company known for celebrating and appreciating women, especially
when considering 93 percent of our associates are women. It is an
honor to continue this mission by also supporting children and
families.”
Since the partnership started in 2008, the Company has become
one of St. Jude’s most devoted partners. This spring, New York
& Company entities, including stores, outlet locations, its
e-commerce website and the brand’s headquarters, accepted donations
to help support the fight against childhood cancer.
The multi-channel campaign was the third of its kind at New York
& Company. Following the first successful campaign in 2015, St.
Jude recognized New York & Company for launching an effective
program supplementing their pre-existing campaigning efforts with
the “Proprietary Campaign of the Year Award.”
“When I visited St. Jude and saw everything they can offer
patients and their families it truly put into perspective how our
hard work directly impacts the hospital’s mission,” says John
Worthington, President and Chief Operating Officer, New York &
Company. “At St. Jude, families do not have to worry about paying
for treatment or travel. I’m proud that New York & Company
associates and customers can help ease this burden for families
already going through an extremely difficult time.”
New York & Company looks forward to continuing campaign
efforts with the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer in
September and the St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign beginning in
November.
