Testimonial - David Lauren

David Lauren, Director of the Ralph Lauren Corporate Foundation

Donations through our philanthropic programs are at the heart of Ralph Lauren’s mission and reflect our deep commitment to the communities around us. We have been supporting the fight against cancer since 1989; and since 2000, our Pink Pony Fund has been dedicated to reducing disparities in care and ensuring that access to high-quality treatment is available to everyone at an earlier—and therefore more effective—stage.
The goal of this initiative is to raise awareness and spur action around cancer, and to galvanize our community and partners around the world. Pink Pony is deeply rooted in our corporate culture: every year, there’s nothing quite like seeing thousands of Ralph Lauren employees show their support for such an important cause in cities around the world! 

Taking one of the world’s most iconic logos—our polo player—and coloring it pink to raise awareness for a cause is a bold move and a testament to our commitment. Our campaigns—which are impactful yet full of emotion and humanity—aim to put cancer at the center of the conversation. For us, these initiatives are a natural extension of the commitment my father first made.
