AEO to donate 15% of sales from Limited Edition No-Shave November
T-shirts and underwear
No-Shave November, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising cancer
awareness and donating funds to cancer research and prevention
foundations, is excited to announce a new partnership with American
Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO). This partnership will inspire discussion
around cancer awareness amid a younger crowd and raise funds for the
four cancer organizations supported by No-Shave November, including the
American Cancer Society, Fight Colorectal Cancer, Prevent Cancer
Foundation, and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
As the first retailer to partner with No-Shave November, AEO will offer
two No-Shave November graphic t-shirts and two styles of No-Shave
November underwear, with 15 percent of sales benefiting the No-Shave
November organization. These items will be available in AEO stores
nationwide and online throughout the month of November, while supplies
last.
As part of the month-long campaign, American Eagle Outfitters will
encourage its customers to join the movement by forgoing shaving and
grooming to raise cancer awareness. By hash tagging their progress with
#LetItGrow, AEO will feature its favorites from Instagram to showcase
customers’ progress.
“We are so excited to partner with American Eagle Outfitters this year
to really push the concept of cancer awareness to include ALL age
groups,” said Monica Hill, Director of Development with No-Shave
November. “Cancer prevention, education and awareness can, and should,
start at a younger age than it does today. And, American Eagle
Outfitters helps us make it fun! We want everyone to feel a sense of
camaraderie while they #LetItGrow!”
“American Eagle Outfitters is proud to partner with No-Shave November to
help raise awareness and funds for cancer research, education and
prevention through the sale of our limited edition No-Shave November
t-shirts and underwear,” said Chad Kessler, Global Brand President.
“There’s no better way to bring awareness to a good cause than by having
a little fun along the way.”
