EILEEN FISHER

Girls Inc. is honored to be the charitable partner for EILEEN FISHER 25th Anniversary events this fall season and to introduce a new facet to an ongoing partnership that has helped support the hundreds of thousands of girls we reach every year.

Girls Inc. has benefited from personal contributions from Eileen as well as support from the EILEEN FISHER company and foundation. Eileen was initially drawn to the Girls Inc. mission when she contributed a letter to What I Know Now: Letters to My Younger Self, an anthology edited by Ellyn Spragins that also featured a letter from Girls Inc. president and CEO Joyce Roché. Eileen then participated as a speaker at a Girls Inc. panel discussion event celebrating the book’s release in 2006.EILEEN FISHER boutiques in Bloomingdale’s nationwide have donated 10 percent of one day’s gross sales to Girls Inc.

Last fall, Girls Inc. launched the Girls Inc. Outlet Store on eBay, featuring EILEEN FISHER as our inaugural partner.
