Audrey McLoghlin

While driving down Olympic Boulevard 20 years ago, Audrey McLoghlin used to gaze at the Norton Campus athletic field and imagine that her future child would one day attend school there. Two decades after she moved to Los Angeles, Audrey’s dreams became reality when her daughter, Grayson, started her first day of kindergarten at Crossroads in the fall of 2021. When touring prospective schools in the area, Audrey knew that her earlier intuition had led her to the right place. “Each interaction with Crossroads leadership and staff left us feeling confident that this school would encourage and support Grayson in being part of the change she wants to see in the world as she grows up,” said Audrey. “It’s a dream come true having my daughter at Crossroads.”

Audrey’s excitement for the School led her to think about how she could get involved on a deeper level. Her company, Frank & Eileen—a luxury clothing brand known for reinventing the women’s button-up using menswear Italian fabrics—achieved B Corp certification in 2020, with an industry-leading impact score of 97.5. This made it the second-highest-ranking globally recognized U.S. fashion brand to complete the rigorous certification process, trailing only Patagonia. To memorialize and celebrate this achievement, the company pledged $10 million over 10 years to various organizations, including Crossroads, to support the female leaders of tomorrow. Supporting education for young girls felt like a natural expression of that priority, especially as Audrey observed Grayson’s newfound confidence flourish after she started at Crossroads.

“Frank & Eileen believes women are changing the world, and we believe in using entrepreneurship as a force for good,” said Audrey. “It’s important to me to support this future generation of problem solvers through educational opportunities and exposure to entrepreneurship.” Audrey partnered with Crossroads to establish The Frank & Eileen Female Leaders of Tomorrow Endowed Scholarship to make a Crossroads education possible for girls whose families could not otherwise afford it. “I’m continuously impressed by Crossroads’ commitment to affordability,” Audrey said. “This endowed scholarship gives the added benefit of exposing the young generation of girls to the power of equity and inclusion in their community and inspiring their thinking for the future.”
