Guests arrive at Pink Charity Lunch at Conrad Macao
As the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is coming to an end, Conrad Macao held its third ‘Pink Inspired Charity Lunch’ yesterday to raise funds and awareness for the treatment and prevention of the disease.
Held in partnership with the International Ladies Club of Macao, the event is part of the hotel’s month long campaign “Pink Inspired,” which raises money for Hong Kong Cancer Fund’s Pink Revolution. This year the lunch event raised over MOP 91,000 for the campaign.
Guests who attended the event were entertained with the cast of Thriller Live, a Michael Jackson tribute show at The Parisian Theatre, who performed at the kick off of the gathering.
The event also invited Australian television celebrity Kerri-Anne Kennerley and welcomed the return of the Hong Kong television host Sean Lee Davies as the MC.
“We’re slowly raising the awareness within the community and we’d love it to become a 400 to 600-member event,” said Bede Barry, vice president of Hotel Operations of The Venetian Macao and Sands Cotai Central.
This year’s lunch attracted nearly 260 supporters, a large increase compared to last year’s 150-attendance, according to Bede.
“We also do [pink] themes by coordinating with the restaurant [such as] pink afternoon tea. We also do pink menu at dinner and [the] signature bear.”
Throughout this month, the hotel has turned all its floral arrangements and decorations in pink, along with donation boxes that have been available to guests.
The donations contributed will be offered to the non-profit Happy Garden Association (Associação de Feliz Paraíso) founded by cancer patients, family members and local medical professionals in 2014. The association provides cancer education and seminars for the public.
