Lane Bryant Raises over $162K for AdoptAClassroom.Org

Lane Bryant, the nation’s leading women’s plus size apparel retailer, is thrilled to announce that the brand raised over $162K for the national non-profit AdoptAClassroom.org through its annual Chalk It Up to Style initiative.

During September, Lane Bryant celebrated education by offering teachers and supporting school staff, a special in-store discount through the Chalk It Up to Style promotion. The brand also featured multiple teachers wearing their best classroom head-to-toe Lane Bryant looks on its social media platforms.

As part of the Chalk It Up to Style promotion, Lane Bryant stores worked to raise funds by offering clients the chance to round up their purchase at the register in benefit of AdoptAClassroom.org.

Over the past four years, Lane Bryant has donated more than $630,000 from round up donations in support of U.S. teachers and their students in communities across the country.

Funds raised through Lane Bryant’s Chalk It Up to Style initiative will help the nonprofit organization provide funding for teachers to purchase the classroom supplies and materials needed to create a dynamic learning environment where children can learn and succeed.
