Coach Foundation Announces Bold $20M Investment, Doubling Down on Its Commitment to Empower the Next Generation
NEW YORK, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Coach Foundation announces a transformative $20M investment to advance opportunities for under-resourced young people who have the courage to make their dreams a reality – nearly doubling its commitment to the North American Dream It Real program by 2030 through multi-year grants to key partners and additional support. This bold expansion marks a new chapter for the Foundation's flagship scholarship initiative, now in its seventh year, accelerating the Coach Foundation's ambitious goal of awarding 10,000 scholarships by 2030 and putting the Foundation on track to meet that target early. The Dream It Real program is the Coach Foundation's signature initiative, rooted in the Foundation's mission of creating opportunities and removing barriers for the next generation through collegiate scholarship, mentorship and other resources. The increased commitment comes as the Foundation celebrates remarkable outcomes from its Dream It Real scholars: 97% of students are on track to graduate college on time*—a stark contrast to the 21% national average for students from similar backgrounds. Additionally, 94% of Dream It Real scholars are first-generation college students who graduate with 88% less debt than the national average. Through strategic partnerships with leading education organizations Bottom Line and The Opportunity Network, the Coach Foundation continues to dismantle barriers to higher education and drive lasting change for young people as they follow their dreams. To date, the Foundation has provided over 7,000 scholarships to young people around the world. "This investment represents our unwavering commitment to the young people we support," said Todd Kahn, Coach CEO and Brand President. "With an expanded investment in North American programs, we're accelerating our impact and scaling what we know works. These young people are achieving remarkable outcomes and we're committed to helping even more of the next generation realize their potential and shape the future. Our new 2030 goals will ensure we can reach even more students who deserve access to pursue their dreams." The $20M announcement was made during the Coach Foundation's signature annual Dream Day convening on Thursday, June 12. This year's Dream Day was particularly special as it celebrated a unique milestone—recognizing the first official cohort of graduating Dream It Real scholars while simultaneously welcoming the program's largest and newest cohort of students. With over 400 young people in attendance and inspiring conversation from WNBA players Kiki Iriafen (Washington Mystics) and Aneesah Morrow (Connecticut Sun), the event embodied this year's theme, Dream Horizons—a powerful turning point where one chapter ends and another begins. The day served as a collective moment to ignite inspiration and look boldly toward the future, with activities including speed mentoring, manifestation stations and interactive workshops. With this new commitment, the Coach Foundation will continue to advance its mission of helping young people reach their highest potential—driven by the belief that all young people should have access to pursue their dreams.

Gold price today, Monday, June 9, 2025: Gold opens slightly higher ahead of U.S.-China trade talks
Gold (GC=F) futures opened at $3,333.40 per ounce Monday, up 0.3% from Friday's close of $3,322.70. Gold's small gain follows a milestone day for stocks on Friday, with the S&P 500 closing above 6,000 for the first time since February 21. Investors responded positively to better-than-expected jobs data released on Friday and reports of scheduled trade talks between the U.S. and China, set to begin on Monday. S&P 500 futures (ES=F) are up slightly in early trading hours on Monday. Gold often has an inverse relationship with stock prices, rising when the equity market is uncertain and weakening when investors are bullish on stocks. The opening price of gold futures on Monday is up 0.3% from Friday's close of $3,322.70 per ounce. Monday's opening price marks a gain of 1% over the past week, compared to the opening price of $3,296.90 on June 2. In the past month, the gold futures price has risen 1% compared to the opening price of $3,299.00 on May 9. In the past year, gold is up 40% from the opening price of $2,379.90 on June 7, 2024.

Explore a list of the top-performing companies in the gold industry using the Yahoo Finance Screener. You can create your own screeners with over 150 different screening criteria. Investing in gold is a four-step process: Set your goal Set an allocation Choose a form Consider your investment timeline The first step to investing in gold is understanding your goals for buying it. Given gold's historic behavior, three suitable investing goals for a gold position are: Diversification into an asset that moves independently from stock prices Protection against inflation-related loss of purchase power Backup source of value and wealth in an unlikely economic collapse Gold has long been part of a balanced portfolio given its ability to hold its value – or even increase further – when the value of other assets is falling. That is why investors utilize gold as a stabilizer. Investors rely on gold's strength in tough times to limit unrealized losses in equities and inflation-related reductions in purchasing power of cash deposits. That's exactly what we're seeing play out now before our eyes. Gold is also a widely recognized store of value. As such, the precious metal can potentially stand in as a medium of exchange if the dollar collapses. 'I recommend that everyone buy a little gold as a hedge against calamity,' said Scott Travers, author of The Coin Collector's Survival Manual and editor of "COINage" magazine, in an interview with Bottom Line, Inc. Gold 'should be viewed as an insurance policy,' he said. Learn more: How to invest in gold in four steps Whether you're tracking the price of gold since last month or last year, the price-of-gold chart below shows the precious metal's steady upward climb in value. Historically, gold has shown extended up cycles and down cycles. The precious metal was in a growth phase from 2009 to 2011. It then trended down, failing to set a new high for nine years. In those lackluster years for gold, your position will negatively impact your overall investment returns. If that feels problematic, a lower allocation percentage is more appropriate. On the other hand, you may be willing to accept gold's underperforming years so you can benefit more in the good years. In this case, you can target a higher percentage. The precious metal has been in the news lately, and many analysts are bullish on gold. In May, Goldman Sachs Research predicted gold would reach $3,700 a troy ounce by year-end 2025. That would equate to a 40% increase for the year, based on gold's January 2 opening price of $2,633. Rising demand from central banks, along with uncertainty related to changing U.S. tariff policy, are the factors driving the increase. If you are interested in learning more about gold's historical value, Yahoo Finance has been tracking the historical price of gold since 2000.

Babydog Justice makes Energy Committee debut as Sen Jim Justice talks Trump, coal and grid reform
Babydog is back on Capitol Hill — and this time, she's weighing in on America's energy future. On Thursday, the beloved English bulldog and constant companion of Sen. Jim Justice, made her official debut before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, where Justice delivered remarks focused on energy policy, national unity and, yes, a few lighthearted barks from Babydog herself. "She humanizes us," Justice told the committee as he lifted Babydog into view. "She makes us absolutely get off our pedestals... She makes you smile... She still loves you." The moment ended with applause from the room and a unanimous motion to enter the pooch's "testimony" into the Senate record. In an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital, Justice said: "From committee appearances to TV appearances, Babydog is always around to bring a smile to everyone's face. She worked hard this week as the 101st senator to make sure all canine priorities were spoken (or barked) for when the microphone was on." Babydog Justice Makes Agriculture Committee Debut: 'She Humanizes All Of Us' The moment drew attention from both lawmakers and social media. Read On The Fox News App "@BabyDogJustice's testimony will be admitted into the record without objection," declared the official Senate Energy Republicans account. Babydog's big day didn't stop there. Before heading to FOX Business for her "Bottom Line" appearance, Babydog shared a behind-the-scenes moment from the Fox News D.C. Bureau, tweeting a glammed-up photo with the caption, "I'm ready for my close up." Justice joined "The Bottom Line with Dagen McDowell" on FOX Business, where he discussed his priorities for America's energy sector, including support for President Donald Trump's recent executive order aimed at bolstering domestic energy production. Babydog Bridges 'Pawtisan' Divide In The Senate On Social Media: 'She Knows No Political Bias' "President Trump has made us proud in regard to coal," Justice said. "We've got to have coal." Asked about concerns that tariffs may be hindering international energy markets for West Virginia, Justice pushed back, saying, "It's so premature to think such a thought... He will adjust when adjusting needs to be made." Justice warned that America faces serious decisions within the next 18 months if energy production isn't scaled to meet demand. "There could be a possibility that it could have expanded just a little bit more than that, but really and truly, within a year-and-a-half, we're going to have to make some really, really tough decisions," he said. "It could very well be an electricity demand of double what it is today." Justice also addressed budget and entitlement reform, tying economic growth directly to energy: "The ticket to growing... is energy. Energy. Energy. Period." Babydog has previously appeared at Senate Agriculture Committee hearings and remains a constant presence in the halls of Congress. As Fox News Digital has reported, she continues to resonate with lawmakers and staff alike across party lines for her ability to, as Justice puts it, "bring people together." "She loves everybody," he said. "Rich, poor, a kid or an adult, or God forbid, a Democrat or a Republican." Her bipartisan appeal and growing public profile have helped Babydog carve out a unique role in Washington—part mascot, part morale booster, and now, a regular presence in policy settings. As Thursday's hearing showed, she's not just along for the ride—she's helping shape the tone in the room.

Fox Business Host Mocks Peter Navarro's ‘Girl Math' Used To Justify Trump Tariffs
Fox Business anchor Dagen McDowell says she fully supports sound economic policies for the United States, but that President Donald Trump's steep international tariffs are backed by 'girl math' from trade adviser Peter Navarro, who is 'kneecapping' the country. Her 'Bottom Line' co-host, Jackie DeAngelis, argued on Monday's broadcast that Trump's aggressive tariffs could be a strategy that forces global leaders to negotiate with Trump for better trade agreements, as Trump claims, prompting McDowell to push back. 'To be clear, I am all-in on a fair, level trading field,' McDowell said Monday. 'I am all-in on level tariffs with all nations,' she continued. 'But I am not all-in on Peter Navarro and his reciprocal girl trade, girl math that's kneecapping the United States, because the trade deficit is not a hallmark of all the cheating that goes on.' McDowell explained, 'And I go back to something he said last week, that 'we have calculated the tariff rate required to eliminate the trade deficit.' The United States issues the world's reserve currency. You can't eliminate the trade deficit.' Trump announced a sweeping 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S. last week, with levies on dozens of other countries set even higher. China was reportedly slapped with tariffs of more than 100%, prompting the country to hike its levies on U.S. imports to 84%. Economists and foreign leaders have argued that Trump's tariffs are 'reciprocal' only by name and were calculated with irrelevant math. Navarro has since gotten into a public spat with Elon Musk, whose electric vehicle company, Tesla, relies on foreign supply chains. Musk slammed Navarro on Tuesday as 'truly a moron' for arguing Tesla isn't a car manufacturer, but merely 'a car assembler.' Later that day, former Trump chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said he personally would have fired the trade advisor 'a long time' ago. McDowell has clearly soured similarly on Navarro, and concluded Monday on her show: 'The quicker that they get him off of TV and away from numbers, the better. And I'm not going to call it girl math anymore, I'm going to call it Navarro math.'
