Partner Content: A host of dining outlets are supporting the breast cancer initiative this month.
With the arrival of October comes the return of one very important initiative: Pinktober. Marked globally alongside Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the campaign creates awareness and educates women about breast cancer, addressing the most common types of breast cancer and any warning signs involved. Naturally, leading hotel properties across the city are playing their part in supporting the cause through a variety of activities, The St. Regis Downtown Dubai included.
All related proceeds will be donated to the Al Jalila Foundation, which has made great strides to advance breast cancer care in the UAE since its inception in 2013, investing over AED 8.5 million into life-saving treatment and funding several breast cancer research studies. Here, we reveal all the Pinktober activities taking place at The St. Regis Downtown, Dubai throughout the month of October.
