American Eagle Better World Gift Cards

American Eagle today announced the AE Better World holiday gift card program to benefit the company's three premier charity partners, Jumpstart, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Student Conservation Association. Ten percent of the purchase price of each AE Better World gift card will be shared equally among the three organizations.

Beginning today through December 24*, the AE Better World gift card is available in AE stores across the United States and Canada, as well as online at www.ae.com. Specially designed packaging will include information about AE Better World and the details about the organizations benefiting from the purchase of the gift card.

"American Eagle Outfitters is a model of corporate philanthropy and Jumpstart is proud to be a partner and beneficiary of the AE Better World gift card campaign," said James Cleveland, president of Jumpstart.

"We applaud American Eagle Outfitters for partnering with charities in this way," said Big Brothers Big Sisters of America president and chief executive officer, Judy Vredenburgh. "This is an example that there are many ways to support the Big Brothers Big Sisters network and to make a difference in the lives of children, improving their odds for succeeding in school and in life."

"We are so pleased to have the on-going support of American Eagle Outfitters," said Valerie Bailey, executive vice president of the Student Conservation Association. "We are impressed by the creative ways that the organization taps the good hearts of its customers and reaches out to organizations that care about making this a better world."
