I have always loved what Ralph Loren means. His clothes and iconic style have been a big part of my life for more than three decades. As everyone knows, fashion designer Ralph Lauren has become the epitome of classic fashion. His innovativeness along with countless other traits made him the founder, designer and chairman of a company worth $ 900 million. He sells a lifestyle of refinement, class and taste. Backstage, he is the Crusaders, with his pink clothes and household items that support breast cancer awareness. In fact, Pink Pony’s 10-year-old clothing line and cashmere cash throws are limited in number and customizable. The Pink Pony Foundation, which raised over $ 40 million to fight cancer in 13 different countries.
For more than 40 years, Ralph Lauren has cultivated the iconography of America in a world empire lifestyle. His clothing line saw reflections of the coast of New England, Native American culture or Hollywood glamor. Ralph Lauren personifies the expression of a timeless style that is recognized and in demand throughout the world. He is somewhat contrary to the conditions: a multi-billionaire who dropped out of school. He is also implacable. He is as generous as he. Today, I want to focus on his charitable efforts and on his side, which I hope will inspire us all to do great things.
I often wondered what motivated him to create his philanthropic foundation: how does he choose the reasons for donation? One turning point was that he had lost his long-time girlfriend Nina Hyde, editor of the Washington Post fashion, to breast cancer. He founded the Nina Hyde Center for Breast Cancer Research. [the largest breast cancer centre in the world] in 1989. The Nina-Hyde Breast Cancer Research Center at the Lombardi Cancer Center is located at Georgetown University Medical Center. Dr. Mark Lippman is the director of the center and states: "Our multidisciplinary program includes prevention, environmental factors, genetics and new treatments to find answers for women struggling with breast cancer." Medical researchers from around the world come together to focus on every aspect of the problem of breast cancer because of the vision and tireless philanthropic efforts of Ralph Lauren.
It continues to be a driving force in raising awareness of breast cancer on both a national and international basis. For Ralph Lauren, it’s about education and awareness. The Pink Pony line was created as a global year-round effort to raise funds for the treatment of breast cancer, and, fortunately, it has expanded to include all types of cancer. His mission now is to help meet the need for medical care, providing quality protection against cancer, access to cancer treatment and early detection for those who need it most. Ten percent of Pink Pony's revenue benefits Fonte Pink Pony.
In 2003, in collaboration with the Memorial Cancer Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center [the world's oldest and largest private cancer center]He founded the Ralph Lauren Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center in East Harlem, New York. One of the most innovative services of the center is called patient navigators: a concept first proposed by Dr. Freeman, the medical director of the center. It is a national authority on the relationship between race, poverty, and cancer. Co-pilot patients help patients and family members ensure that they are not lost in the complexities of the health care system.
It's amazing how Ralph Loren gives it. The Ralph Lauren Cancer Treatment and Prevention Center was created with a generous gift from Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation. This generous gift has provided access to high-quality cancer screening and treatment services, mainly from Harlem minorities.
In his speech, Ralph Lauren recognized “the efforts, care and love of all who worked so hard to understand that the center came into being. This is not the end, but the beginning of a long struggle for all of us. "
Today, I thank your efforts. Keep fighting the good fight, Ralph Lauren. You made the world a better place.
