Lane Bryant And Catherines Raise Over $281 Thousand For Nationwide Children's Hospital

May 11, 2018

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Plus size apparel brands Lane Bryant and Catherines are thrilled to announce that the Give.Love.Share campaign has raised over $281K in donations to support Columbus-based Nationwide Children's Hospital.

Throughout the month of April, Lane Bryant and Catherines worked to raise both donations and awareness for the hospital in support of Nationwide Children's mission of providing the highest quality care to all children and their families, regardless of ability to pay.

Both brands offered multiple opportunities for clients and associates to contribute to Nationwide Children's. An exclusive coupon book was available for purchase with a $5 donation, and clients were offered register round-up opportunities in stores.

Not only did Lane Bryant and Catherines offer opportunities for clients and associates to donate to Nationwide Children's, the brands raised awareness for the hospital (while encouraging donations) through a special video series. Videos were shared across Lane Bryant and Catherines' social media and digital channels throughout the campaign; each video stared a Nationwide Children's patient.
