Founded in 1987, Aeropostale became a staple of American mall culture in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During this peak, the company operated over 1,000 stores globally. With high foot traffic and robust margins, the brand had the infrastructure to support local community giving. Store managers were often empowered to donate gift cards or clothing vouchers to nearby schools for silent auctions, raffles, and prom nights.
