Ralph Lauren is a household name for all the fabulous designs he's created for so many areas of our lives. He's one of the designers that others copy. This article is not about fashion, but about another side of Ralph Lauren most never see or read about. It's not hidden, just not as publicized as fashion.
This began in 2001 with a meeting between Ralph Lauren and Dr. Harold P. Freeman. Dr. Freeman inspired Ralph Lauren to become further involved in cancer screening and treatment for all.
This inspiration gave birth to The Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention, a community based Center for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It is located in East Harlem, New York.
The Center was made possible through a grant by the Polo Ralph Lauren Corporation. It's designed for research, screening, and outreach to a community which is often ignored.
The center design itself was created with a feeling of serenity with the help of Ralph Lauren designers. It reflects the community where it is located.
Ralph Lauren is to be applauded and recognized for this valuable contribution to NYC.
