Recently Coach, Inc., a leading New York design house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle collections, orchestrated a special event to celebrate  their continued support of Step Up, a non-profit organization that inspires girls to achieve their dreams.  The occasion, held at Coach NorthPark Center and hosted by blogger, Tanya Foster, also toasted the opening of the latest chapter of, Step Up in Dallas, made possible through the backing of the Coach Foundation.

Throughout the special evening, attendees shopped the latest collections and learned more about Step Up from CEO, Jenni Luke.  A portion of the proceeds directly benefitted the local Step Up chapter.

Due to the Coach’s direct support, it was noted during the event that Step Up in Dallas was able to complete the first module of programming focused on goal setting and encourage more than 150 girls to enroll in their mentorship curriculum.  Coach embraces Step Up’s mission to empower girls to accomplish their goals and was pleased to support the Dallas opening, making the city the first regional extension in ten years.
