The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain Lights Up In Pink To Support Global Breast Cancer Awareness Month

MANAMA, Bahrain – October 6, 2019 – It’s a “pink” October at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain as the resort lights up in all that is pink and savory to mark the global solidarity movement for Breast Cancer Awareness. Throughout the month, traveling families and couples can enjoy a variety of special experiences, including pink-themed dining menus at Primavera and Plums, afternoon tea and pink pastries at Lobby Lounge and Ritz-Gourmet, special pink-inspired spa enhancements, and the sell-out Pink Island Party on October 17 featuring headliner DJ Ersan Erguner. In addition to the ongoing dining and spa experiences, the resort will shine bright like a “pink diamond” in the starry sky in unity with the Kingdom’s efforts to raise awareness against breast cancer awareness.

As the month arrives with a reminder for individuals to preventively get themselves checked and to continue raising funds for research and cure of this illness, a portion of the total sales from all Pink-themed events will be donated to the local charity organization, Think Pink Bahrain.

Commenting on the occasion, Jeremy Canivet, Director of Sales and Marketing said, “We are delighted to continue our support to local charity partner Think Pink Bahrain for the fifth consecutive year. Aligning with our corporate social responsibility Community Footprints program, these annual events not only showcase solidarity across the Kingdom, but most importantly our guests can enjoy unique experiences while supporting a global cause.”

Following the annual Pink Island Party on October 17, the month continues with a variety of events for guests to join in including, the Pink Brunch at La Med in partnership with Asia Jewellers on October 18, a special pink menu in Primavera by Chef Delfino Sanfilippo Chiarello as well as Plums by Chef Mohammed Abdou and pink-colored desserts by Executive Pastry Chef Jonathan Challenor at the Ritz Gourmet Lounge and Lobby Lounge.
