At YOOX NET-A-PORTER, our eight Employee Resource Groups connect our people by building communities with shared passions and experiences. The newest of our ERGs – the Wellness Collective – recently endorsed 12 of our YNAPers who took to the streets of Milan for the Wings for Life World Run 2024. Each of them showed an incredible amount of sheer determination to outrun the moving finish line, and all funds raised by the ERG on behalf of the runners were donated to Wings for Life - Spinal Cord Research Foundation, whose mission is to find a cure for spinal cord injury. Around the world, over 265,000 people – from seasoned athletes to first-timers – participated in the annual event last weekend, united by a common cause. Congratulations to our inspiring YNAPers for completing the run and raising vital funds for Wings for Life’s spinal cord injury research. See them in action below.

🎁 As the holiday season approaches, The Undie Chest is thrilled to introduce our unique initiative, "12 Days of #UndieGiving." The Undie Chest's mission is clear: we aim to positively impact our community, especially by helping individuals and families in need regain their dignity. Kicking off on #GivingTuesday, November 28, we invite you to join us on a journey of giving. #GivingTuesday is a remarkable movement that unites people from diverse backgrounds, communities, and cultures with a shared goal of making a positive impact. ❤️ #GivingTuesday is more than just a day of charitable giving; it's a movement that amplifies the spirit of selflessness and compassion. Through the 12 Days of #UndieGiving, we aim to align with this season of giving and raise awareness about the transformative power of underwear. By participating, you can create a lasting impact on the lives of others and contribute to a more equitable and compassionate society. We want to challenge our LinkedIn family to give $15 (or more)... 🤔 Why $15? Because $15 can purchase a week of undies for an individual in need. 🏡 Restoring dignity to a person trying to rebuild their lives is priceless and worth the $15 investment in the future of our community. 👇 Our goal is to raise $12,000 for our first #UndieGiving Campaign. https://lnkd.in/g9qBkDY6 With your support, we know we can reach our goal. ❤️ #GivingTuesday #GivingDignity, #BraRecycling, #CircularEconomy

A few months ago, we shared a post entitled ‘philanthropy is not a ‘nice to have.’’ We really, really meant it. So, we’re posting it again. Only louder and with an added exclamation mark. Because philanthropy is essential. It creates more certainty that services that can be delivered. That our communities will continue to be supported. That voices can be heard. That inequities can be addressed. And, that people will have the tools and resources they need to thrive. So, having mechanisms that actively grow generosity and strengthen philanthropic ecosystems is really important. As a community foundation, that’s our MO. We invest and grow donations, so they continue to support our communities long into the future. We provide a practical way for giving to go further. And actively work to increase the philanthropic pie. Philanthropy is essential. Let’s work together to grow it.

Help us raise money for a great cause! For millions of people living in rural, under-served communities, access to healthcare, education or job opportunities are severely restricted by limited mobility. World Bicycle Relief is working to solve that, having delivered nearly 800,000 Buffalo Bicycles to these communities around the world. These bikes are purpose-built for moving people and their cargo across rough terrain in the environments where they live. World Bicycle Relief has measured a 28% reduction in student absenteeism, an 88% increase in patient visits by health workers, and a 23% increase in farmer incomes as a result of providing their bikes to these communities. Not to mention, they’ve trained nearly 4,000 bike mechanics and opened 88 Buffalo Bicycle shops to provide skilled labor opportunities in these communities. We’re thrilled to be partnering with and raising money for World Bicycle Relief as part of Michael Nicholson and I competing in the Triple Bypass Ride in July. This legendary ride spans 118 miles through Colorado’s stunning Rocky Mountains, climbing nearly 11,000 feet in elevation over three mountain passes. As an avid road and gravel cyclist, it’s humbling to recognize that while I go out and ride my bike for fun, there are millions of people around the world where a bike can have a transformative impact on fulfilling their basic daily needs. When you donate a bicycle ($165) or any amount to World Bicycle Relief, you’re helping those under-resourced communities get the tools they need to conquer the challenge of distance. Every dollar counts and I would be immensely grateful for your support and considering a contribution towards World Bicycle Relief. Let’s pedal towards a brighter future! https://lnkd.in/dSHSERb3 #TripleBypassRide #4Spire #WorldBicycleRelief #CharityRide #EnduranceChallenge #CyclingForGood #EmpowermentThroughBicycles

Did you know that there are 34 “living buildings” in the world that produce more energy and water than they consume? In 2020, Georgia Tech opened The Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design and our client, the Kendeda Fund, donated $25 million for the building and $5 million to support a program to tell the building’s story, inspire others, and help launch similar projects.

Helping Retailers Reduce Their Carbon Footprint, Increase Customer Engagement, and Measure their environmental Impact by Responsibly Disposing of Their Overstock, Returns, and Samples.
During the season of giving and throughout the year, I reflect on many things I am thankful for... 🙌 I am most grateful for the opportunity to give back to others worldwide. It was a dream for me to leave the corporate world and finally put my energy into my calling of helping individuals and families in need with the donation of underwear. Fortunately, I found my calling because many people are still searching for it. As I found out, the little things can make such a big difference in the lives of those in need. So, if you want to give back to your community, think of the small things people need to restore dignity. 🎁 As the holiday season approaches, The Undie Chest is thrilled to introduce our unique initiative, "12 Days of #UndieGiving."

Downsizing: It's more than just moving out; it's about cherishing memories and embracing a fresh start 🍃. For the vibrant baby boomer community in Sykesville, tackling this transition has become an act of community spirit and forward-thinking. I've guided many through this process, each time refining a path that's as stress-free as it's impactful. Here's how we do it: 1️⃣ Sort & Select: Begin by sorting through belongings. Keep what you love, and let go of what you no longer need. 2️⃣ Sell with a Story: When selling items, share their stories. Buyers love pieces that come with a personal touch. 3️⃣ Donate to Do Good: Consider donating to local charities. It’s not just objects; it's a legacy you're passing on. 4️⃣ Sustainable Steps: Recycle what you can't sell or donate. Our planet thanks you for every small step. As a real estate expert specializing in luxury markets and meaningful transitions, I'm here not just to list your home, but to ensure your move up, downsize, or first purchase reflects the life you envision. Are you in Sykesville contemplating a change? Let's connect and make the process as rewarding as the outcome. #SykesvilleRealEstate #Downsizing #LuxuryHomes #BabyBoomers #RealEstateExpert #SustainableLiving #CommunityImpact
