At Carter's, we are proud to celebrate Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) and Asian Heritage Month. Throughout this month, we will highlight employees as we take time to reflect on and celebrate the lasting impact of AANHPI and Asian communities across North America. Today, John Chan shares what AANHPI Heritage month means to him. What does AANHPI Heritage Month mean to you?
In the US, Hispanic Heritage Month, introduced in 1968, is a time to honor the rich history and culture of Hispanic and Latino communities. From September 15 to October 15, we recognize their significant impact throughout history, including their advocacy work, vibrant art, popular and traditional foods, and more. Some famous Hispanic Americans are musician Gloria Estefan, actress Rita Moreno, singer Celia Cruz, and labor leader Dolores Huerta. #lifeatcarters En los EE.

This month is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month (or AAPI Heritage Month) which began in the United States as a week-long celebration and expanded to a month in 1992. In Canada, May is designated as Asian Heritage Month, which was officially recognized in 2002. During this month, we honor and celebrate the rich heritage and contributions of individuals from these diverse backgrounds. According to the Federal Asian Pacific American Council, the theme for 2024 in the U.S. is ‘Advancing Leaders throughs Opportunity,’ which underscores the Asian community’s innovation, resilience, and pioneering spirit demonstrated through ingenuity and creativity. #lifeatcarters
🌟 Making a Difference at Carter's! 🌟 Last week, Carter’s employees came together to pack Black History Month inspired educational kits for youth at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta. Each kit contained an inspirational book, crayons, coloring pages and puzzle featuring Black leaders, and a snack. By providing these resources, our employees were not just packing items but planting seeds of inspiration. They were laying the foundation for the next generation to embrace equality and celebrate diversity. #lifeatcarters
🌟 Today is #GivingTuesday, and at Carter’s, we care about the well-being of all children and are committed to uplifting our communities. Throughout the year, we empower our employees to make a difference with multiple avenues for giving back. Our Matching Gifts program matches employee donations. Additionally, our Carter’s in the Classroom program provides monetary grants to schools where our employees volunteer. Our community efforts are focused on promoting literacy in early childhood education. We believe this focus will help ensure ALL KIDS have an equal opportunity to succeed. In 2023, our dedicated employees volunteered with our community partners Quality Care for Children, United Through Reading, Sheltering Arms, Pajama Program, Save the Children International and more. Together, we provided access to early learning, books, clothing, and essential resources. 📚 As we celebrate #GivingTuesday, we are excited to continue making a meaningful impact on our communities! 💙 #LifeatCarters
