Mad Anthonys names Barbara Bradley Baekgaard its 2021 Red Coat honoree<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (June 17, 2021) \u2014 Mad Anthonys is recognizing the co-author of one of Indiana\u2019s great entrepreneurial success stories as its 2021 Red Coat honoree.<\/p>\n

Barbara Bradley Baekgaard, the co-founder of international retailer Vera Bradley, will be honored by Mad Anthonys at its Red Coat Gala on September 11; the event will take place at The Bradley, the new boutique hotel Baekgaard has been instrumental in bringing to downtown Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly honored and excited to recognize Barb as our Red Coat recipient this year,\u201d said Sherri Miller, president of the Mad Anthonys Foundation. \u201cFrom the basement of her home, she has helped build Vera Bradley into a global brand and amazing success story \u2014 all while giving back and strengthening the community she calls home. Her presence and participation in this year\u2019s event will have a profound, positive impact on the support we generate for Mad Anthonys Children\u2019s Hope House.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing named a Red Coat recipient ranks up there with any recognition I\u2019ve received to date,\u201d Baekgaard said. \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to join the incredible list of previous recipients \u2014 and to help Mad Anthonys raise money for the Mad Anthonys Children\u2019s Hope House and enhance the services they provide families throughout our region in the process. It\u2019s a great way to give back to a community that\u2019s given so much to me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baekgaard co-founded Vera Bradley (named after her mother) in 1982 in Fort Wayne along with Pat Miller with a vision to bring a much-needed injection of design and color to the luggage market; since then, they\u2019ve built it into a publicly traded company and internationally recognized lifestyle brand providing a broad range of women\u2019s handbags, luggage and travel items, fashion and home accessories, and unique gifts online and in retail locations around the world.<\/p>\n

She served as co-president of the company from its founding until 2010, when she was named Chief Creative Officer, a position she held until 2017. Since the company\u2019s founding, she\u2019s provided leadership and strategic direction in the brand’s development by providing creative vision to areas such as marketing, product design and assortment planning, and to the design and visual merchandising of the company\u2019s stores.<\/p>\n

Her philanthropic efforts are equally impressive and far-reaching. In 1994, the loss of a close friend to breast cancer inspired Baekgaard and Miller to establish the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. To date, the Foundation has given more than $36 million for breast cancer research at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, Baekgaard has earned ample industry and philanthropic recognition and awards, including the Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the State of Indiana from Arthur Young\/VENTURE in 1987 (awarded jointly with Ms. Miller); the Gifts and Decorative Accessories Industry Achievement Award in 2006; the Country Living Entrepreneur Award in 2007; the Lifetime Achievement Award from AmericasMart\/Icon Honors in 2014; the ACE Humanitarian Award from the Accessories Council in New York City in 2017; and the Fashion Group International Humanitarian Award in 2018.<\/p>\n

For the first time in the event\u2019s history, the Mad Anthonys Red Coat Gala will not be held during the Pro-Am weekend. The 64th Pro-Am will be held June 28 at Fort Wayne Country Club; Mad Anthonys moved the date of the Red Coat Dinner to Sept. 11 to coincide with the opening of The Bradley.
