The Coach Foundation’s flagship philanthropic program, Dream It Real, is proud to celebrate student graduates across the U.S this month and all year long! Through our Dream It Real grantee partner, Bottom Line, we honored over 800 first-generation college graduates across the country at their Class of 2021 Virtual Recognition Night, featuring surprise gifts and a special message from our artist and actor Friend of Coach, Quincy. Over the past year, Coach has donated over $10 million (retail value) worth of clothing, bags, tech cases and uniforms to our nonprofit partners that provide job readiness and outfitting to young people from underrepresented communities. The Dream It Real program strives to break cycles of inequity by empowering the next generation to reach their full potential through higher education. If you know a young person graduating this year, take a moment to tell them, “you did it!” and encourage them to #DreamItReal in their post-graduation journey. #lifeatcoach #classof2021
George Floyd mattered. One year later, we mourn his loss, honor his memory and recognize how his murder has impacted our world, our country and our lives. Today—and every day—we stand with our Black employees, customers, and partners, the Black community, and all marginalized communities as a whole. Today, to mark the one-year anniversary since the killing of George Floyd, we announce donations from the Coach Foundation to the Equal Justice Initiative, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. and the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, three organizations dedicated to social equity. Over the past year, we have worked to impact change by providing over $1 million in financial resources to organizations that champion racial and social justice through our brand and parent company Tapestry, along with our company foundations. We know there is no easy fix, but we are committed to long-term, action-driven solutions to help end systemic racism. #lifeatcoach

Inspired by our Spring 2021 collection in collaboration with Juergen Teller, we launched “Coach Forever,” a series of global immersive, phygital pop-ups inspired by the optimism of beautiful things, crafted to last. The experience invites customers to wander through an interactive natural world – both real and digital. The pop-up is brought to life with a sensory-evoking digital implementation that leans into the palette and purpose of the Coach Forever SS21 presentation. It is an experience that plays on multiple tensions: the natural world and the city; heritage and the future of fashion; and tactile leatherwork and interactive technology – all through the lens of optimism and craft. It’s an experience celebrating our past, present and commitment to the future. #lifeatcoach
An update for our community: last fall we kicked off #CoachTheVote - our commitment to provide voter education and counter voter suppression - in partnership with More Than A Vote. The initiative started last year, but its message is more vital than ever today. After historic turnout in the presidential election, legislation aimed at suppressing American's ability to vote is gaining traction across the United States. As a pledge of our continuing support, we've made a monetary contribution to More Than A Vote - an organization whose mission is to energize, educate and protect the Black and Latinx vote in the U.S. - and will continue to advocate for voter's rights.
