We celebrate women and are committed to inspiring and empowering ladies to love themselves from the inside and out.
In the U.S. alone, one in eight women will develop breast cancer and 30 million Americans will struggle with an eating disorder at some point in their lives. Our Aerie brand focuses on body positivity and breast cancer awareness—two causes that affect the lives of our customers and associates every day. We’re proud of the meaningful partnerships we’ve developed that encourage body positivity and promote health and wellness.
Bright Pink
Did you know that breast cancer is the leading cancer diagnosis among women? That’s why Aerie supports Bright Pink, the only national nonprofit organization focused on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women. Our partnership aims to spark important conversations among women about the risk of breast and ovarian cancer and inspire them to take action, while also raising funds to fuel Bright Pink’s life-saving education programs.
National Eating Disorders Association
Unrealistic, retouched images can contribute to poor self-esteem and play a role in the rising epidemic of eating disorders. In February 2015, as part of our commitment to promoting body positivity, Aerie became the first retailer to partner with National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) to focus on body positivity and help reduce the prevalence of and stigma around eating disorders.
Since 2015, Aerie has sponsored 204 NEDA Walks in the U.S. to encourage body positivity and help raise awareness around eating disorders.
