Second Round Foundation was proud to introduce Brooks Brothers to George Jackson Academy for a special morning focused on mentorship, personal development, and career exploration.
Led by Brooks Brothers CEO Ken Ohashi, the visit gave middle school students the opportunity to learn about his personal journey, the experiences that shaped his career, and the importance of pursuing their own goals. Through a fireside chat followed by an interactive Q&A, students had the chance to ask questions, gain insight from a business leader, and learn about the importance of curiosity, work ethic, and the power of saying YES!
The haberdashery experience included a fun tie-tying competition, a Brooks Brothers tie distribution, the creation of a uniform closet complete with shirts and pants, and ending with a school tour led by GJA students.
Experiences like these give students valuable opportunities to connect with leaders, explore new perspectives, and envision what is possible for their own futures. We’re grateful to Ken Ohashi and the Brooks Brothers team for taking the time to invest in the next generation.
