As part of the launch of KnitWell Group's Sisterhood of Strength Campaign in support of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, I had the opportunity to sit down with BCRF's President and CEO, Donna McKay. We had a wonderful conversation about the incredible work they are doing, the importance of research in the fight against breast cancer, and how people can get involved. We hope you will join our Sisterhood of Strength. - Cheers to one year! Below is a message of gratitude from Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Lizanne Kindler, as we celebrate the first anniversary of KnitWell Group.

On Aug 30th, 2023, we announced the formation of KnitWell Group – a powerhouse collection of iconic American retail brands - and I could not be prouder to celebrate our 1st anniversary. I am grateful for all of our amazing associates who support our brands and customers every day. Happy Anniversary, KnitWell Group! - KnitWell Group is honored to be recognized on Forbes' 2024 list of America's Best Employers for Women! As a predominantly female-founded and female-led organization, this recognition reflects our genuine commitment to empowering and uplifting our associates.#AmericasBestEmployers #KnitWellGroup
Introducing #AmericasBestEmployers for Women 2024 A recent analysis by the Pew Research Center found that women now make up 35% of U.S. workers in the 10 highest-paying occupations—such as physicians, lawyers, pharmacists, physicists, chief executives and sales engineers—up from 13% in 1980. Regardless, there is still need for progress in growing the ranks of women in leadership roles, closing the gender wage gap, and creating a more equitable workplace for women. And many companies have taken up the charge. To recognize the organizations that are doing so—and to help female workers find these companies—Forbes has ranked America’s Best Employers For Women 2024.
