FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Sept. 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marshalls (NYSE: TJX) today
announces The Good Stuff Accelerator Program, a new initiative
designed to help give women more of the resources needed to unlock
the good stuff in their lives. Recent research commissioned by
Marshalls revealed only half of women surveyed are satisfied with
their current lives, and a third confess they don't know where to
begin on the path toward their ideal lives. The Marshalls Good
Stuff Accelerator Program will help serve as a catalyst in helping
women identify the path toward their ideal lives and start
achieving their professional and personal ambitions.

The news comes as a continuation of the brand's commitment to
help bridge the access gap - the lack of access to tools, resources
and community that help enable women to unlock the life they want
to live. The Marshalls Good Stuff Accelerator Program – now
open for applications - seeks 40 women to embark on this
transformative experience, complete with expert-led workshops, peer
coaching, access to educational tools and a one-time grant.
In partnership with Luminary, a global professional
and personal education and networking platform, the Good Stuff
Accelerator Program participants will receive access to valuable
resources for one year including:
- Live virtual workshops with experts and role
models like longtime Marshalls partner, actor and
producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas,
E! News TV Personality Keltie
Knight and more.
- Peer coaching through monthly meetings with a small
community of carefully matched, Good Stuff Accelerator Program
participants.
- A Luminary membership that includes access to their vast
library of tools, resources, content and community, 25+ monthly
virtual events, networking, and co-working spaces across the
country.
- A one-time grant of $5,000, informed by the average one-year
cost of the tools and resources women surveyed indicate they most
need to catalyze their journey toward their ideal lives.
"Many women feel they are lacking the access or resources needed
to achieve their ideal life," states Sonya
Cosentini, Vice President, Brand Marketing, Marshalls.
"We're excited to continue our commitment to helping bridge this
gap through our third Marshalls Good Stuff Social Club and the
launch of The Good Stuff Accelerator Program. We believe these
resources can be an impactful catalyst in helping women start
achieving their ambitions."
The Accelerator Program builds on the success of The Marshalls
Good Stuff Social Club, which will host its third event in less
than a year on Saturday, October
5th in Chicago. The all-day event gives women the
opportunity to connect with a dynamic group of experts across a
range of motivational topics including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, who served as the keynote
speaker at the brand's first social club in New York City.
"Supporting women on their journeys is something I'm really
passionate about, so I'm excited to continue partnering with
Marshalls as a mentor for The Good Stuff Accelerator Program and to
be back at The Good Stuff Social Club," says Chopra Jonas. "These programs are all about
giving women the real tools and resources they need to go after
their dreams, and I'm honored to be part of it—both as a mentor and
by sharing my own experiences as a keynote speaker."
Marshalls will take over Guild Row (3130 N. Rockwell St) from
9am-6:30pm CT. Local Chicago speakers and experts will join Chopra
Jonas: Cate Luzio, founder and CEO of Luminary who will
moderate Chopra Jonas's
session; Vivian
Tu, New York
Times best-selling author and CEO & Founder of
the financial equity phenomenon, Your Rich
BFF; Karen Blanchard,
fashion stylist and influencer; Jenn Lim, CEO of Beyond Happiness and one of
the world's top 50 keynote speakers. Whitney Reynolds, a devoted Chicagoan and
host of the nationally syndicated PBS talk
show The Whitney Reynolds Show will serve as
the day's Master of Ceremonies.
As part of Marshalls mission, this year the brand donated a
total of $400,000 to its nonprofit
partners, MENTOR, Girls Inc., and Savvy Ladies,
through the TJX Foundation. Through these partnerships, Marshalls
helps enable programming that meaningfully supports women and girls
by providing the tools, resources, and community they need to get
the good stuff in life.
