Kohl’s Celebrates Unity During Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with $100,000 Donation to Alliance for a Healthier Generation and Launch of Spotlight Collection

05/03/2021

Donation supports Asian American and Pacific Islander health equity champions and helps to develop resources that support the health and well-being of Asian American and Pacific Islander families.

At Kohl’s, we strive to celebrate our differences and help our customers see themselves reflected in our brands. May marks Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to recognize the historic contributions and culture of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. As we enter a month dedicated to celebration, we must also acknowledge the challenges Our People, Our Customers and Our Community are currently facing. While this remains a challenging time, we want to be intentional about celebrating AAPI heritage and culture while uplifting our communities with joy and unity this month. In a celebration of unity and in recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are proud to launch an Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Spotlight Collection and expand upon our existing Alliance for a Healthier Generation partnership with a $100,000 donation in support of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. We’re honoring the history and contributions of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community and hope that a better understanding of one community helps to foster unity for all.

Kohl’s $100,000 Donation to Alliance for a Healthier Generation in Support of Asian American and Pacific Islander Families
In addition to the product collection, in recognition of this special month, Kohl’s is expanding its existing support of its national partner, Alliance for a Healthier Generation, with a donation of $100,000 to support Asian American and Pacific Islander health equity champions and to develop resources that support the health and well-being of Asian American and Pacific Islander families. Healthier Generation, together with AAPI health equity champions, will share and promote health and wellness messaging across their national network of schools, families and community leaders. In addition, Kohl’s support will allow Healthier Generation to host a virtual wellness series in celebration of culture and connection for parents, caregivers, and families that will feature influencers and subject matter experts who identify as AAPI.

Kohl’s Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month Spotlight Collection is one example of product assortments Kohl’s has introduced to support the many customers and communities we serve. We recently celebrated Women’s History Month in March, as well as Black History Month earlier this year, and we will continue to celebrate diversity in the coming months during Pride, Hispanic Heritage Month, and more.
