The Power of Pink Prevails at Macy’s In the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Support the cause with the new, limited-edition Ralph Lauren Pink
Pony Bracelet and other pretty and powerful pink products

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–This October, Macy’s is once again inviting customers to “think pink”
and show their support in the fight against breast cancer through an
inspirational and fashionable campaign that heightens awareness and
turns the fundraising focus on a disease that affects not only women,
but those who love them. Throughout the month of October, the power of
pink will prevail with exclusive merchandise, including fashion,
cosmetics and items for the home, in addition to Ralph Lauren Pink Pony
apparel. And, for the first time, those united in the fight will be able
to show their support through a new, limited-edition Pink Pony Bracelet
that benefits the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation
(available in-store only from Sept. 28 to Oct. 10). With a plentitude of
pink, Macy’s celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month with style and
strength.

“Macy’s long-standing commitment to the breast cancer awareness movement
is incredibly inspiring,” states Holly Thomas, Macy’s group vice
president of cause marketing. “Our ongoing dedication to charitable
causes makes an even greater impact with the support of our employees
and our terrific partners, such as Ralph Lauren, who join forces toward
a common goal. And, of course, we are so grateful to our customers who
continue to show their generosity by shopping at our stores and in our
dedicated online ‘Pink Shop’ in a quest to raise awareness and champion
the fight against breast cancer.”

Pink Pony

For the fourth consecutive year, Macy’s has joined forces with the Pink
Pony Fund, Ralph Lauren Corporation’s worldwide initiative in the fight
against cancer. This year, the Pink Pony Campaign is launching for the
first time, a limited-edition Pink Pony Bracelet which will be
exclusively sold at most Macy’s full-line stores across the country. The
bracelet is made of pink adjustable cord, decorated with a pink enameled
iconic polo player charm and engraved with Ralph Lauren script on the
back. The bracelet will be available in-store for $5 ($4 of which
benefits the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation) from Sept.
28 through Oct. 10 and customers who purchase it will also receive a
special discount up to 25 percent on a wide assortment of merchandise at
most full-line Macy’s stores nationwide (with applied exclusions). Also
new to the campaign this year is the Pink Pony limited-edition
fragrance, “Ralph Lauren Tender Romance,” of which 15 percent of the
purchase price* will be donated to the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph
Lauren Foundation. And finally, a special collection of t-shirts and
active wear will transform Polo Ralph Lauren shops into Pink Pony
destinations in 16 Macy’s locations across the country and online at
macys.com/ralphlauren. Twenty-five percent of the purchase price of all
other Pink Pony products sold in the United States will benefit the Pink
Pony Fund of The Ralph Lauren Foundation for causes devoted to cancer
awareness, education and research. Since its launch in 2013, this
exclusive partnership has raised more than $5.5 million for the cause.

BCRF Beauty Box

Because big things really do come in small packages, Macy’s is proud to
join the Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign
to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) through the sale
of the BCRF Beauty Sampler, available in select Macy’s locations. Macy’s
will donate 20 percent to BCRF from now until Dec. 31, 2016 for each
sampler box purchased for $20. Each BCRF Beauty Sampler contains eight
travel-size samples from The Estée Lauder Companies’ favorite beauty
brands.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 200,000 new cases of
invasive breast cancer (Stages I-IV) are diagnosed among women in the
United States in a year, resulting in approximately 40,000 deaths.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women,
after lung cancer. Through various partnerships and joint efforts,
Macy’s maintains a steadfast dedication to finding a cure. This year’s
program is targeted to reaching customers in every aspect of their lives.

*Ralph Lauren Fragrances will donate to the Pink Pony Fund of The Ralph
Lauren Foundation 100 percent of the profits equal to approximately 15
percent of the purchase price for each “Ralph Lauren Tender Romance”
Pink Pony limited-edition fragrance purchased in the 50 United States,
Puerto Rico or Washington, D.C. through authorized distributors from
Oct. 1, 2016 to Oct. 31, 2016 with a minimum guaranteed donation of
$100,000 from the sale of these products. No portion of the purchase
