Hard Rock Caf\u00e9 Saipan partners again with the Commonwealth Cancer Association in encouraging the community to support breast cancer awareness efforts through the Pinktober event this Friday.<\/p>\n
Restaurant and training manager Mikka Valencia said that for this year\u2019s Pinktober event, they decided to move it to November and schedule it on the once-per-century date, 11\/11\/11. Doors will open at 6pm.<\/p>\n
Valencia said that Hard Rock International has long been a supporter of international breast cancer awareness efforts, and this would be the second year that the local Hard Rock is working in partnership with a local group to promote the Pinktober event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe owe it to the public,\u201d Valencia told Saipan Tribune. \u201cEven though we\u2019re in a small island, we want to show that we can support organizations like Commonwealth Cancer Association. It\u2019s our responsibility to support a good cause.\u201d<\/p>\n
Valencia said entrance fee costs $11 per person, which includes one free drink. Choices include Bloody Mary, Salty Dog, draft beer, soda or iced tea.<\/p>\n
Happy hour rates will apply throughout the event, Valencia added.<\/p>\n
Guests are encouraged to wear pink. They will be treated to live music entertainment from the 15 performers lined up for the event. <\/p>\n
Merchandise featuring the pink ribbon, the international symbol of breast cancer awareness, will also be sold at the event. Buyers can get a 20 percent discount on bracelets, keychains, and t-shirts.<\/p>\n
There will be a photo booth by the entrance where guests can have their photo taken for free.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, our ticket sales is doing good,\u201d said Valencia. \u201cOver a hundred tickets have been distributed for our staff to sell but we\u2019re expecting that many of our guests will buy their tickets at the door.\u201d<\/p>\n
