As part of its global Dream It Real initiative, the Coach Foundation pledges to award 5,000 scholarships to students by 2025, the company announced, by partnering with nonprofits that work towards achieving equity through education, such as The Opportunity Network and Bottom Line in the U.S. "Realizing dreams is incredibly important to us at Coach, going back to our earliest days as a small, family-run workshop in New York City," Todd Kahn, CEO and brand president of Coach, said in a statement. Coach is commemorating this effort by donating 5% of sales in North America (up to $1 million) to the Dream It Real Fund and 5% of sales in the U.K. (up to $150,000) to the UK Youth charity from August 9 to August 16, which will be dubbed Dream Week. {Fashionista Inbox}
