It’s “Pinktober” again at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pattaya and the annual
breast cancer fundraising campaign started off with beauty queens and a parade.
Ms. Hard Rock Southeast Asia and health workers from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya
joined about 100 hotel staffers in a march down Beach Road through Walking
Street, helping to educate tourists and residents on breast cancer. This year
marks the 14th the hotel chain has raised money for breast cancer research. In
Thailand, this year’s partner is the Thanyarak Breast Cancer Foundation and
Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
A host of community leaders turned out to show their support, including Deputy
Mayor Ronakit Ekasingh.
In addition to hosting the event, the Hard Rock is raising funds throughout the
month with part of the proceeds from sales of pins, select beverages, souvenirs
and bedding sets going to charity. The Hard Rock Hotel also has a limited number
of “Pinktober” suites bedecked in pink with 25 percent of the room rate going to
breast cancer research.
A “pink party” will be held at the Hard Rock Cafe with prizes and pink drinks on
offer. For more information call 038 428 755-9 or visit
