BKSF lends a voice to issues including human rights, HIV/AIDS awareness, community development and leadership training. In 2007 BKFS established a partnership with the William H. Maxwell High School in the impoverished and underserved East New York section of Brooklyn. The following year, BSF started Stitch for Success to help low income individuals earn income from fashion-related fields, which has grown into an internship and job training program in 2011
In September 2011, BKSF found the perfect partner – Industry City (at Bush Terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn). Hailed as Brooklyn’s new waterfront area for prime business development and a diverse residential community, Industry City is the new home of BKFW.
BKSF offers a marketing partnership platform for select companies to build their brand, align with noted philanthropic organizations and connect with a distinct targeted audience.
