I've been with Chubbies for over six years and have watched Foundation 43 grow from an idea into what it is today. I still remember the excitement that I felt when I first heard one of our partner charities would be The Trevor Project. Back then, I was working at our Tampa store and loved sharing how every purchase supported our partner organizations—and how each Pride product sold meant $5 donated to Foundation 43. It gave every transaction deeper purpose and made it clear: Chubbies was about more than just fun clothing. It was about real allyship. Fast forward 6 years to today, where as a Senior Accountant at Chubbies, one of the responsibilities I’m most proud of is sharing insights specific to ensuring that our charitable contributions are becoming meaningful funds to support our partners and are delivered on time to Foundation 43. To me, our Pride styles are more than clothes—they’re statements of support, visibility, and love. I deeply admire The Trevor Project’s life-saving work for LGBTQ+ youth, and I’m proud Chubbies continues to stand behind them. - Chubbies Sr. Accountant @the.allen.lopez
