Officials from the Hard Rock Cafe in Pattaya, Bangkok and Phuket are blushing with pride over their annual ‘Pinktober’ celebration, which this year raised more than 130,000 baht for breast cancer research.
The charity funds came from a number of sources, including the auction of a frame featuring 30 limited-edition Pinktober pins and bearing the signature of pop star Burin Boonvisut, which raised 20,000 baht. The company also donated proceeds from Pinktober pins, special beverages and pink-themed rooms at the Hard Rock Hotel.
