Fall 2020 Newsletter
In 2000, Dave Schweidenback won a Rolex Laureate Award for his Pedals for Progress work.
In 2010, Reese Fernandez-Ruiz won a Rolex Laureate Award for her Rags2Riches work. Rags2Riches partners with local artisans across the Philippines to create eco-ethical fashion and home accessories out of upcycled, overstock cloth and indigenous fabrics. Here is her introduction to R2R, our newest partner.
In 2019, the Washington Post partnered with Rolex and its Perpetual Planet campaign. Together they launched Climate Solutions to explore the people and organizations focused on tackling global warming. Climate Solutions produces multimedia pieces spotlighting the history and legacy of Rolex Laureates working to keep the planet perpetual. The focus is on key areas like wildlife protection, oceans, water conservation and waste recycling.
Here is Trash–to–Treasure Hunters, the Rolex and Washington Post piece on waste recycling, featuring Reese of Rags2Riches and Dave of P4P.
