Throughout the month of October, The Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya will be honorably partaking in the 22nd annual ‘Pinktober’ campaign in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Here we will share a little about what’s in store and how you too, can get involved.
According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, 1 in 8 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. And according to the World Health Organization, in 2020 alone there were approximately 2.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer – That doesn’t include the women that went undetected and undiagnosed due to lack of healthcare, nor does it include the men who have and have not been diagnosed. (It’s rare, but our men can get it too.)
Breast cancer is an on-going global challenge that is going to take all of us stepping up together to overcome. It is really awesome to see big companies like The Hard Rock Hotels getting involved in spreading awareness and raising money for research.
Pinktober Race
This 5k race hosted by the hotel is available to all guests, and any funds raised will be used directly for local communities. There will be a live band, no pressure to come first place or to run a specific pace. Run, jog, walk – do what you can, either way your participation is appreciated.
- When: October 30th 2021 at 8:00am
- Where: Woodward Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya
- Length: 5km
- Post Race: Pretty pink cocktails
Pinktober Massage
Another way you can indulge in the ‘Pinktober; activities is to book yourself in at the “Rock Spa” for a ‘pink mud massage’, there isn’t a ton of information about it on the website which leads me to believe it’s even more of an incredible experience that doesn’t come around everyday. The rock spa is known to be the biggest spa in the Caribbean with over 70 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy current pools, a super cool spa butler, incredibly lavish surroundings, a “music-centric” spa menu, a yoga temple, a beauty salon and a fitness center.
- Spa service hours: 9am – 5pm
- Fitness center hours: 6am – 10pm
- Pinktober service: Pink Mud Massage
Pinktober T-Shirts
Besides getting your own limited edition ‘Pinktober Hard Rock t-shirt‘ for only $19 USD, The Hard Rock Riviera Maya Hotel is proudly donating 10% of all proceeds from Pinktober official merchandise sold at the local Rock shop to support multiple breast cancer awareness causes.
With all the campaign work the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya does with events like ‘Pinktober‘, they continue to stand by and live up to their mottos of “Take Time To Be Kind” and “Love All – Serve All”.
Providing guests with an environment to kick back, relax and make a difference in the world while they’re on vacation.
*Note: If you’d like an adult-only vacation, request the “Heaven” side of the resort.
