October is National Breast Cancer month and the Hotel Grand Chancellor Melbourne holds its annual Pink Ribbon Breakfast in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. We raise funds through the sale of Pink Ribbon merchandise, donations and our lovely corporate clients that attend our hosted breakfast. Of course, all themed in pink - pink flowers, pink drinks, pink fruit & pink decorations - just to start!
On Monday 25th October 2010 we sat down to a lovely breakfast with some of our Corporate Clients in Encore Restaurant. It was a nice start to the week and as a parting gift, we gave mini bottles of Redisland olive oil - Redisland has donated $60,000 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Over the past few years we have raised around $2000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. In 2010. we raised the highest figure so far of $1000. We are very pleased with the results and would like to thank all those who participated and look forward to increasing this figure in 2011.
