As we all know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Businesses and communities all around the world are showing their support by participating in walks, donating to research and wearing pink. Major industries like Ralph Lauren and the NFL have stepped up and joined the fight against breast cancer.
To show their support, Ralph Lauren, one of the biggest name designers in the world, has created an entire line dedicated to awareness. The line, Pink Pony, supports the cause by donating 10% of your purchase price to the Pink Pony Fund of the Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation. The foundation raises money for screenings, early diagnosis, treatment and more!
And just in case you don’t like their designs, you can donate straight to the cause without making a purchase.
Football players have also been making bold pink statements this month. Members of the NFL have been showing off their feminine side by sporting pink equipment, such as cleats, gloves and sweatbands.
The products that they are wearing, in addition to other merchandise, are being sold to raise funds for breast cancer charities. They are donating a whopping 5% to the cause. In addition to that small percentage, the NFL is also raising money for the American Cancer Society by auctioning off autographs and other paraphernalia.
Show your support by donating to the cause and sporting your favorite pink fashions!
