FUTIAN Shangri-La, Shenzhen collaborated with Shenzhen Pink Ribbon Breast Care Center to host a “Breast Loving Day” charity cocktail party Tuesday.

    The hotel invited corporations and social partners to represent “Pink Ribbon” and help promote public awareness of breast cancer, as well as the care for health. Donations were made to the Shenzhen Pink Ribbon Care Fund.

    Tuesday’s cocktail party featured eight breast cancer patients and teachers from the Pink Ribbon Breast Care Center who shared information and their experiences concerning breast health care. Revenue from sold goods provided by some corporations were all given to the Pink Ribbon Care Fund.

    Now through Oct. 31, Futian Shangri-La, Shenzhen is holding the Pink October charity event. The lobby and other public areas have been decorated with pink bouquets. Shang Garden, Shang Gourmet and Lobby Lounge have created two special “Pink” cocktails. Fifty percent of the revenue from the “Pink” cocktails and 10 yuan (US$1.47) from each buffet lunch and dinner at Café Zen will be donated to the Pink Ribbon Care Fund.

    Furthermore, the hotel donated 10 room vouchers worth a total of 29,000 yuan to breast cancer patients so they can experience a relaxing moment with their families at the hotel.

    Futian Shangri-La, Shenzhen is the first five-star hotel in Shenzhen to participate in the Pink October charity events. The focus of Shangri-La’s Care for People projects are on education and health.

    The Pink Ribbon “Breast Loving Day” is part of Futian Shangri-La, Shenzhen’s “Sustainability” program, aiming to promote breast cancer awareness and support fundraising for the cause.
