New York & Company Celebrates Holiday State of Mind and Philanthropic Giving this Season
New York & Company, a subsidiary of RTW Retailwinds (NYSE: RTW) and one of the largest omni-channel women's specialty retailers offering exclusive celebrity and sub-brand collections, today unveiled its holiday campaign: Holiday State of Mind. The campaign aims to celebrate the love, magic, and nostalgia of New York City during the holidays. New York & Company is also proud to announce its 11th year partnering with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® for its annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving® campaign.
"I love New York City during the holidays and more so, I love the feeling of togetherness that the holidays bring. Every year, I am amazed at the generosity our customers show St. Jude. It's so great to see everyone embracing the holiday spirit," says Greg Scott, CEO RTW Retailwinds. "This season, New York & Company is hiring an additional 1,000 store associates across the nation to help execute Holiday State of Mind and our St. Jude fundraising initiative. I'm very excited to see this campaign come to life."
"I am so proud to be associated with a brand that embraces diversity, celebrates inclusivity, offers great fashion at amazing value and supports causes that are important to us," says Eva Mendes, who has collaborated with New York & Company since 2013 and has supported St. Jude through her designs. For the 2019 holiday season, New York & Company has once again partnered with St. Jude to create co-branded merchandise with 50% of the purchase price going directly to the organization whose mission is to understand, treat and defeat childhood cancers and other life-threatening diseases.
New York & Company has donated over $32 million to St. Jude to date, largely crediting its customer base for its continuous support since the partnership began in 2008. This dedication of customers and employees has contributed to the Company solidifying its place as one of St. Jude's largest corporate partners. Every year, the Company continues to not only reach, but also exceed its fundraising goals.
Launching with this campaign is the Holiday State of Mind Sweepstakes. Entrants can join by following New York & Company's Instagram account (@nyandcompany) and liking and commenting on the sweepstakes posts. The winner?to be announced early December?will win a trip for two to NYC during the holidays, Broadway tickets, and New York & Company gift cards.
