In honor of World Mental Health Day, we are proud to announce the launch of the AE Foundation, expanding the American Eagle brand’s longtime commitment to champion the mental health and well-being of young people, empower authenticity and create a better future for all. “American Eagle is a leading brand for 15-25 year olds–which means we have a unique opportunity to directly engage with millions of young adults to help them prioritize mental health and well-being,” said Jennifer Foyle, President, Executive Creative Director, AE & Aerie. Bring Change to Mind (BC2M), a nonprofit co-founded by award-winning actress and activist Glenn Close that works to end the stigma associated with mental illness, will be awarded the first AE Foundation Signature Grant. Together with our customers, we are proud to be the largest corporate donor in the organization’s history, providing more than $1.6 million to BC2M since our first partnership in 2021.

Talk about a #FeelGoodFriday! Last week nearly 300 associates came together at our South Side campus for one of our favorite annual events, the AEOmazing Race. 🤩🎉 Associates enjoyed a day full of field games, friendly competition and food truck fun–all for a great cause: raising money for AEO Helping Hands, a fund established to support associates who have suffered personal hardship. Together, we raised more than $7,500 to support members of our AEO community in need. Congrats to this year’s winning teams and a huge thank you to all who made the event a tremendous success! #AEOBetterWorld #BetterTogether
