GFC and Sephora have joined forces to bring the Girls For A Change Action Kit and the Girls For A Change Action Network to girls all over the globe.

Sephora is the presenting sponsor of The Girls For A Change National Tour launching September 2008.

Sephora, the beauty authority, revolutionized the global beauty industry with its unique retail concept rooted in a powerful combination of unparalleled brand and product assortment, distinctive store design and the beauty expertise of its sales consultants. Sephora offers clients a choice of more than 200 classic and emerging beauty brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, makeup, fragrance, bath & body, hair care, smile care and tools, as well as the company’s own private label.  Sephora was founded in France in 1969 and acquired by Paris-based LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's leading luxury products group, in 1997.  Now, celebrating their 10th Anniversary in 2008, Sephora America operates more than 210 stores in the United States and Canada, and the world’s top beauty website, Sephora.com.  Sephora Europe has more than 500 stores within 12 countries and has established 30 locations in China. Thanks to Sephora’s recent partnerships with HSN, a global multi-channel retailing giant, and JCPenney, one of America’s largest department stores, the beauty authority is now accessible to more clients than ever before. Sephora is proud to announce their commitment to Girls For A Change, and supports their mission to empower girls to create social change.

"Sephora choosing to partner Girls For A Change makes a statement to girls that inner beauty is most important. We are proud to have created a powerful partnership with a company that holds the value of investing in small, independent brands and helping them grow. Our partnership with Sephora will allow Girls For A Change to reach girls across the United States." —Whitney Smith, GFC Founder & CEO

EILEEN FISHER’s mission is to inspire simplicity, creativity and delight through connection and great design. The original design concept—high-quality, simple, comfortable women’s clothing that works as a “wardrobing concept”— allow women to dress effortlessly and with delight, giving them more time to pursue the things they are passionate about. 

As a socially conscious company, EILEEN FISHER is dedicated to supporting women through social initiatives that address their well being, to guiding their product and process towards sustaining the environment and to practicing business responsibly with absolute regard for human rights.    EILEEN FISHER also believes in supporting women in the communities near their offices and stores, through various grant programs, including the Self Image Grant program for women and girls and Eileen’s Business Grant program for woman entrepreneurs.  Each grant program seeks organizations which are socially conscious, emphasize sustainability and are innovative in their approach to what they do. 

EILEEN FISHER encourages the growth and personal development of all employees through a culture of collaboration.  They believe this has lead to the growth and development of the company, with sales in 2007 exceeding $254 million.  Since 2004, the company has been recognized as one of the top 25 medium-sized companies to work for in the U.S.
