Our 2023 Gala: An Evening of Delivering Good, celebrated leadership and excellence in fashion, finance, and philanthropy, the “Evening of Delivering Good” was held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. In advance of the gala, Delivering Good also launched its “1 Million Bras” campaign, aiming to unite the retail industry to donate 1 million bras to women and girls residing in domestic violence and homeless shelters across the US. To kick off the campaign, Aerie, the lifestyle brand owned by American Eagle Outfitters, donated 100,000 bras to the cause.

The same day we were also featured on the AEO digital billboards in Times Square to mark our annual gala event, the recognition of Jennifer Foyle from AEO/Aerie as one of our honorees, and the generosity of the gala’s top sponsors.
