Ashley Stewart Gives Back To Local Charities

SECAUCUS, N.J., Jan. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The holidays may be over, but Ashley Stewart stores throughout the country are still in the giving spirit.  Ashley Stewart believes that making a fashion statement is about much more than having the right clothes.  It's about standing up as a voice for women everywhere.   Already recognized as a pioneer in providing plus-size women with true, on-trend fashion that flatter and hug their curves, Ashley Stewart is leading the way when it comes to giving their store managers the opportunity to give back to the communities in which they live and work.  "Each store is a part of a neighborhood and our store managers are a vibrant part of that neighborhood.  Ashley Stewart has always been involved in giving back and we are thrilled to give our store managers a chance to be involved," explains Kathy Clair, vice president of marketing at Ashley Stewart.

Starting January 20, 2014, more than 40 Ashley Stewart stores across the country will host events with the charities that they chose.   "I have always wanted to give back.  So I was thrilled to call the center where I volunteer every week to tell them I was going to donate to them too," says Delores Cameron, district manager for Ashley Stewart in New York.  Ashley Stewart is donating more than $10,000 to various charities chosen by their stores at the local events.
