Hey girls! Weโve got some super exciting news to share with you today! This year has been groundbreaking for Torrid! Theyโve announced that theyโre going to be the first plus size brand to present at NYFW, and now Torrid has joined in on the fun of giving back to the community with the creation of the Torrid Foundation!
The foundation comes at no surprise because it is essentially an extension of their brand which is known forย empowering women!
โAt Torrid, we are dedicated to helping all women feel confident,โ says Torrid CEO, Kay Hong. โBut we want to do more to help support and raise awareness for womenโs causes that can make a real difference.โ
What better way to empower women than by combining fashion with education? The Torrid Foundation was set up to raise funds & partner with other non-profit organizations to help women change their lives. Funds are garnered through donations, roundups at the register, product proceeds and fundraiser events.
