Macerich's Fashion Outlets of Chicago, located at 5220 Fashion Outlets Way in Rosemont, and iconic Chicago artist Matthew Hoffman, will honor Mental Health Awareness Month this May by offering an exclusive sticker set inspired by Hoffman’s You Are Beautiful series. All proceeds will benefit NAMI Chicago, a non-profit organization that advocates for individuals with mental health conditions by connecting them to care and support in addition to educating communities to break down the stigma surrounding mental illness.
The exclusive 5-pack sticker set, which includes phrases such as “You Are Worthy,” “You Are Enough” and “You Are Amazing”, will be available for purchase at Concierge Services for $8 with 100 percent of the proceeds going to NAMI Chicago. Hoffman previously designed a large-scale You Are Beautiful artwork in 2017 for THE COLLECTION, Fashion Outlets of Chicago’s multifaceted contemporary art program.
“Matthew Hoffman’s You Are Beautiful project is the perfect reminder of self-love, and Fashion Outlets of Chicago is thrilled to partner with him on this initiative in support of mental health awareness,” said Fashion Outlets of Chicago Senior Marketing Manager Katie Walsh. “We are proud to donate all of the proceeds from our stickers to NAMI Chicago, an organization that makes a profound impact on our community through their work in mental health advocacy and education.”
"Positive self-talk is incredibly important. I created five reminders to share with yourself (& others) each & every day: You are beautiful. You are enough. You are worthy. You are unique. You are amazing,” said Hoffman. “When these stickers were created for Fashion Outlets of Chicago, we were thrilled to know that they would go towards raising funds to contribute to the incredible work being done at NAMI."
