We were proud to partner with Blessings in a Backpack to provide thousands of backpacks for the Julian D. King Gift Foundation’s annual Hatch Day. The Chicago event was hosted by Grammy and Oscar-winning artist Jennifer Hudson and her sister, Julia Hudson. “Julian loved school and learning, so today is a celebration of that. We want all children to be able to enjoy the start of the school year without worrying about the cost of supplies. We believe that every child here can do something great and we’re excited to provide them with tools that will help them on their path,” said Julia and Jennifer.

When you know, you know, and when we met Pura Vida, we knew we just had to collaborate. We were so drawn to their commitment to giving back. Pura Vida bracelets support 800+ artisans worldwide. We also loved their cool use of color and their story — they too were started by two best friends. For our very first collection together — an everyday backpack and a must-have bracelet — we took cues from Pura Vida’s breezy beachside vibe and our own signature easygoing style.

Supporting the communities where we do business is something that has been important to Vera Bradley from the start. One of our most recent philanthropic initiatives is the support of The Fresh Air Fund, a not-for-profit agency that supports summer camp experiences for children from New York City’s low-income communities. We have donated thousands of beach towels for the children to use at camp this summer. We’re proud to have the opportunity to make summer a bit more fun and colorful for these kids!

We are thrilled to continue our partnership with non-profit organization Blessings in a Backpack for the second consecutive year. Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals and resources to provide food for the millions of elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. In addition to an in-store awareness and fundraising campaign, this back-to-school season Vera Bradley will donate 50,000 backpacks to children in need and will also host and support several backpack packing events, school carnivals and distribution events. Each event will culminate in backpack giveaways, and some events will feature celebrity appearances!

Our own Beatrice Mac Cabe was recently featured in a personal interest story in Fort Wayne, Indiana’s The Journal Gazette publication. The article compares Beatrice’s role as Vera Bradley’s Chief Creative Officer to that of an “orchestra conductor, simultaneously bringing out the best in the strings, woodwind and percussion sections.” We couldn’t agree more! http://glassdoor.com/slink.htm?key=vMikJ
