Crimson Hotel Filinvest City launched “Passionately Pink” to commemorate the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month through special promotions, events, and activities.
“Passion Forward Exhibit” opened the month-long event for spreading awareness about breast cancer, which showcases fashion art from Francis Libiran, South Arts Festival, and other talented designers, at the Crimson Hotel in Alabang on Sept. 25.
“We have started our awareness campaign against breast cancer last year in line with our efforts to give back to our community. It is also alarming to know that the Philippines has the highest incidence of breast cancer in Asia with three out of 100 Filipino women are at risk of getting it in their lifetime. Both mom and the daughter are at risk of getting a breast cancer. However, cancer prevention is possible if they know how to beat it.” Mr. Gerhard Doll, General Manager of Crimson Hotel Filinvest City, Manila, stated.
Crimson’s activities will benefit the STAGEZERO by Project Pink Support Group, a non-stock, non-profit organization that aims to encourage and empower patients, families and the community to take action against breast cancer.
“In addition to spreading word of mouth for this meaningful cause, our main goal is to raise funds that will benefit our partner foundation — the Stagezero by Project Pink Support Group,” Doll added.
For the “Passionately Pink” campaign, a concert for a cause entitled In the CompanY of Pink featured renowned vocal group The Company with MYMP at the Crimson Grand Ballroom on Oct. 12.
Also, guests may avail special “Bloom in Pink” room packages from Oct. 1 to 31, in which the overnight stay is available at P4, 999 net for Deluxe Room, P5, 999 net for Premier Room, while overnight stays with breakfast will be at P5, 999 net for Deluxe Room and P6, 999 net for Premier Room.
Additionally, Crimson hotel is offering “Think Pink Meetings” packages for October meetings booked at the hotel inclusive of pink lemonade, Passionately Pink edition of Fil the Bear, pink-themed snacks for coffee breaks.
