Aly Raisman Has Launched a New Aerie Collection to Fight Against Child Sexual Abuse
On January 19, 2018, Aly Raisman's life changed forever. She came face to face with disgraced former gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar, to testify as one of the many women who endured sexual abuse from Nassar for years. Raisman has since become an #AerieReal Role Model, using her platform to continue the fight against child sexual abuse. Today, Raisman takes her partnership with Aerie one step further, teaming up with the brand again to debut her own capsule collection of activewear.

Raisman's new Aerie collection, designed to encourage "strength, wellness and mindful living," is made up of nine pieces, including leggings, sports bras, and t-shirts, each inspired by Raisman's personal passions, from the floral printed bra—a nod to her love of gardening—to positive affirmations like "Unapologetically Me" and "In the Moment" that are written throughout the assortment to uplift the individuals wearing the collection.

15 percent of proceeds (up to $75,000) will be donated to Flip the Switch, a nonprofit organization Raisman's launched after several people reached out to the Olympic gymnast "about the lack of support and attention being devoted to the issue of sexual abuse within the sport of gymnastics, particularly at the grassroots level."
