After losing close friend Nina Hyde, a fashion editor at the Washington Post, to breast cancer in 1990, Ralph Lauren became committed to fighting the disease. His Polo Ralph Lauren Foundation’s Pink Pony Fund supports programs for cancer screening and early diagnosis, treatment, and research. Year round, 10% of Pink Pony collection sales benefit the fund.

2010 marks the 10th year of the Pink Pony collection and in honor of its anniversary four pink limited edition items were designed, including an alligator Ricky 33 bag and the Ralph Lauren Stirrup timepiece, which—with its alligator strap and row of diamonds—would contribute a sizeable donation.

Other items available include women’s and children’s wear, personal accessories, and some stunning home accessories. I especially love the Pink Pony shagreen jewelry box, and we’ll be featuring the enamel frames in our upcoming November issue (which will be out any day now).

In addition to the Pink Pony items, Ralph Lauren has partnered with Charity Buzz to auction over 300 amazing lots: apparel, exclusive vacations, chances to meet celebrities, and of course, furniture and decorative accessories. Bid now through October 21—100% of the net proceeds benefits the Pink Pony Fund.

Visit Ralphlauren.com/pinkpony for Pink Pony items and a link to the auction, and help fund the research so we can eradicate cancer.

A once-in-a-lifetime, priceless opportunity to spend four days and three nights for you and up to three guests at Ralph Lauren’s personal Jamaican paradise, above, is just one of the items being auctioned.
