Jennie Sacks, Founder
Jennie is a corporate lawyer, currently serving as Assistant General Counsel, Executive Director at JPMorgan Chase. Jennie has carried the idea for Lift Her Up in her heart since 2008 when she overheard two homeless women in New York City on a hot and sticky day in July discussing their discomfort because they didn’t have bras.
In 2021, Jennie was awarded the JPMorgan Pro Bono Legal Fellowship and served for 9 months as pro bono counsel to Project Renewal, Inc., a homeless organization in New York City. Her time at Project Renewal reminded her of the dream she had to provide comfort and support to homeless women through bra donations and fittings, and in 2024 Jennie founded Lift Her Up, Inc. Through Jennie’s vision, Lift Her Up has held 2 in-person bra fitting events at New York City shelters, serving over 100 women and donating 700+ bras and equal amounts of underwear. Jennie is planning to hold 4 bra fitting events in 2026.
