FGX International

Foster Grant had the inspiring opportunity to partner with OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation to host a vision clinic in Fishkill, NY. During this two-day vision clinic, our team of volunteers provided free vision screenings & glasses to the community. Not only were we able to give back, our team members volunteered their time to come together as one and make a positive difference.   #WeAreFGX 

Happy National Intern Day! This summer we welcomed Madison Cameron, FGX Marketing Intern to the world of EssilorLuxottica and FGX International. Madison shared highlights from her internship experience. Check it out!   #WeAreFGX

Last month, employees across EssilorLuxottica celebrated National Sunglasses Day and the FGX office in Smithfield, Rhode Island was no exception. Employees took a break from their day to enjoy a Rhode Island staple, Del’s Lemonade, and grab a pair of our Foster Grant SUN LUV sunnies! #WeAreFGX

June was full of love and pride! Foster Grant was a proud sponsor of four Pride Festivals with EssilorLuxottica. Our team of volunteers and marchers gave out 6,000 Foster Grant SUN LUV sunglasses to festival goers. This collection celebrates everyone’s uniqueness while embracing the importance of connection among us all – “All for One, One For All”. Our warmth and gratitude goes out to everyone who came out to support us in Dallas, Rhode Island, Cincinnati, and New York City!   #WeAreFGX

We had an incredible time at the Rhode Island Pride Festival! Together with our EssilorLuxottica portfolio, we celebrated Pride Month with the LGBTQIA+ community. Festival goers received a pair of sunglasses from our Foster Grant SUN LUV collection, keeping their eyes protected and in style. Throughout the month, we are proud to be sponsoring four pride festivals this month in Dallas, Texas, Cincinnati, Ohio, and New York City! #WeAreFGX

In celebration of Mental Health Awareness month in May, FGX wanted to recognize the significance of mental health and overall wellness in all aspects of employees’ lives, personal and professional. This month reminded us that mental health is not a luxury but a fundamental aspect of wellness. So, we invited employees to join us for refreshing and nutritious fruit smoothies for a pick-me-up during their day (200 employees served!), and hosted a rejuvenating yoga session, where employees to a break from the daily grind and learned tips for reducing stress in the workplace. #WeAreFGX
