ACE 2026 Social Impact: Blake Mycoskie
There are few entrepreneurs who have fundamentally reshaped the way business intersects with purpose. Blake Mycoskie is one of them. As the founder of TOMS, he pioneered a model that would inspire an entire generation of companies to think beyond profit by building a brand that ultimately donated more than 100 million pairs of shoes to children in need around the world.
At this year’s ACE Awards, the Accessories Council is proud to honor Mycoskie with the Social Impact Award — recognizing not only his extraordinary legacy of giving, but his continued growth as a leader willing to share the most personal parts of his journey in service of others.
There has long been a meaningful connection between Mycoskie and the Accessories Council, making this recognition all the more significant. He stands apart — not just for what he built, but for how he leads with honesty, vulnerability, and an unwavering belief that business can and should be a force for good.
