Yesterday, kids from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas received some back-to-school shopping help from the one and only #ShaquilleONeal! JCPenney provided 20 children with $500 gift cards to shop with Shaq for apparel, shoes and school necessities like backpacks and water bottles. During the shopping event, kids were also able to receive a kids cut in our JCPenney Salon to complete their back-to-school checklist. Special thanks to sweetgreen for providing lunch to fuel the kids during their shopping experience.   During Tuesday’s event, JCPenney presented Alliance for a Healthier Generation with a $100,000 check honoring the second year of sponsorship for The Walking Classroom and donated 75 WalkKits to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Dallas, a $30,000 value.

July 3 is National CROWN Day, a day which commemorates the signing of the first #CROWNAct legislation in California in 2019. The CROWN Act stands for “Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair,” and in 2024, there are still 24 states that have no protections against hair-based discrimination.   This week, JCPenney’s Lisa Green, VP DMM over Salon and #JCPenneyBeauty, presented to the National Organization of Black Elected Legislative Women’s (NOBEL Women) board of directors at the invitation of the board’s president, Georgia State Senator Tonya P. Anderson, MBA, MDiv, who visited our Lithonia, GA, location earlier this year. Lisa shared an overview of our beauty assortment and supplier initiatives and reaffirmed our support for the CROWN Act, then hosted the leadership team for a tour of our Metarie, LA, store alongside world-renowned hair care instructor Alicia Bailey Watts. Our amazing store and Salon associates shared details on the variety of products and services we offer for all types of hair textures.

Lavender bath towels, seafoam bedding, linen drapes and a new tea kettle are just a few of the items that helped make Dr. Opal Lee's new house a home.
