October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and there are many wonderful partners working with the cause this month. Below are four great collaborations this month, combining global goodwill and top-notch hospitality.
Sip for a Cause at Viceroy Los Cabos
Viceroy Los Cabos is a newly-opened resort on the coast of Baja California. The resort partnered with Barbells For Boobs, a non-profit breast cancer organization dedicated to quality healthcare for all and an improved quality of life post diagnosis through fitness, and Mexico-based Breast Cancer Society Foundation, both of which at the forefront of this cause.
Viceroy Los Cabos has created an exclusive “Pink” drink menu, consisting of beautifully-crafted themed cocktails, available to order at each of its bar and dining venues. 20 percent of the total revenue from these cocktails will be donated to the resort’s charity partners. Additionally, rosé donated by Veuve Clicquot will be available for sale with all total revenue to be donated. Additionally, the resort is offering a daily trainer-led barbell-focused class, inspired by Barbells For Boobs fitness methods.
Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown Gives Back
Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown has also partnered with the Southern California-based non-profit Barbells For Boobs, in dedication to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month of October, the hotel will illuminate its top-level 18 Social lounge with pink lights each evening, as well as offering a pink-themed cocktail at its lobby-level Metropole Bar + Kitchen and 18 Social lounge. One dollar from each specialty cocktail sold will go towards the charitable cause. Both hotel guests and visitors are welcomed to participate in hotel offerings and programming. Located in the historic core of bustling downtown, Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown is dedicated to giving back to the surrounding communities.
The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco Glows Pink
Each night during the month of October, the iconic Nob Hill hotel will be illuminated in a pink glow to match the symbolic ribbon and show support for the important cause. Additionally, guests and locals alike will be invited to support Bay Area non-profit Breast Cancer Emergency Fund — an organization dedicated to providing emergency financial assistance to low-income women and men battling breast cancer — via Pink Afternoon Tea and other special programming created by the hotel’s culinary team. Available for purchase in the posh, city-view Lounge, The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco will donate $10 from each Pink Afternoon Tea and $2 from each glass of sparkling rosé sold. A blushing cocktail, “Hello Gorgeous,” is also available all month-long and can be purchased in the stylish Lounge or at the bar inside the acclaimed Parallel 37 restaurant. Two dollars from the sale of each pink-themed libation will be donated to the BCEF.
Drink Pink at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua
Located on Maui’s pristine northwest shore, The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua is serving up an array of sparkling rosé and still wines, as part of its “Drink Pink” program for Breast Cancer Awareness month. A portion of total “Drink Pink” sales will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, during the month of October.
The Spa at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua is also offering an exclusive Knesko Rose Quartz facial with 10 percent of the proceeds going towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation, as launched on October 8th. This indulgent and powerful antioxidant treatment combines the healing energy of the precious Rose Quartz facial mask and a gemstone roller with the anti-aging powers of Knesko’s proprietary GEMCLINICAL TM formulations treatment to instantly calm, protect and soothe skin.
