The colors of autumn always begin with pink at Pattaya’s Hard Rock Hotel
which again is running a month-long “Pinktober” campaign to raise funds to fight
breast cancer.
Hotel General Manager Jorge Carlos Smith and Hard Rock Cafe Manager Matthew
Carley joined pink-clad health workers from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya and about
100 hotel staffers in a march down Walking Street, helping to educate tourists
and residents on breast cancer. House band Nu Color entertained.
This year marks the 16th the hotel chain has raised money for beast cancer
research. In Thailand, the partner is the Thanyarak Breast Cancer Foundation and
Breast Caner 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 Oct. 18. It will feature a charity concert by the Unicorn Band, which
includes members of The Mighty Queen Band. Admission is free.
