Ralph Lauren foundation announced that it would be donating $10 million towards coronavirus relief. The money will go directly to the workers and communities dealing with the pandemic.

“At the heart of our company, there has always been a spirit of togetherness that inspires our creativity, our confidence and most importantly our support for one another. In the past weeks and months, that spirit has never wavered,” said Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer. “We believe that no matter who you are or where you are from, we are all connected. That is why we are taking significant action to help our teams and communities through this crisis.”

These funds will provide disease relief efforts, split across different causes including the Emergency Assistance Foundation, the World Health Organisation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and more.

In addition, the donation will benefit financial grants through the Emergency Assistance Foundation for Ralph Lauren colleagues facing special circumstances like medical, eldercare or childcare needs as well as the Pink Pony Fund to ensure those suffering from cancer have the resources and care they need during this vulnerable time.

In addition, the Ralph Lauren corporation is starting the production of 250,000 masks and 25,000
isolation gowns with our U.S manufacturing partners.
