Rachel Roy
“When I met World of Children, I fell in love with how humble, direct and quickly their team reaches as many heroes helping to save children as possible.”
Rachel Roy is the founder of her eponymous fashion brand and a tireless activist for using your voice to encourage change and design the life you want to live. The Rachel Roy brand debuted in 2004 and for over a decade has been inspiring women to lead individual and limitless lives through courage, conviction and change.
In the spring of 2016, Rachel attended our Hero Awards event in Los Angeles, and quickly became part of the World of Children family. That summer, she visited Honoree Triveni Archana and met the girls she serves through Rescue Foundation in Mumbai, India. Her emotional reactions were shared on her social media channels, commenting that she was “Blessed to witness a true angel in action … One person can change the world.”
In January 2017, Rachel selflessly shared her birthday with World of Children, asking her friends and family to “give the gift of kindness” by donating to our first ever Crisis Award to help Syrian refugee children. Rachel’s birthday campaign raised $26,000 dollars that will be used to provide life-altering medical care to refugee children who desperately need help.
Today, Rachel continues to share with the world that “Kindness is always fashionable.” Her ongoing Gifts for Good website supports World of Children, and her fall 2017 Love Capsule Collection gives fans the opportunity to shop exclusive designs to support and unlock the future.
Rachel has served as an Honorary Chair for the 2017 Hero Awards Benefit and an Event Co-Chair for the 2018 Hero Awards Benefit.
