LAS VEGAS GOES PINK AT HARD ROCK CAFE FOR GLOBAL PINKTOBER™ CAMPAIGN

Hard Rock Cafes in Las Vegas Host Special Events as Part of 14th Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

In celebration of Hard Rock International’s 14th annual PINKTOBER™ campaign, both Hard Rock Cafe locations in Las Vegas will host a series of special events to raise awareness and funds for a cause that affects millions of people around the world. On Tuesday, October 1, 2013, Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas on the Strip will kick off this year’s PINKTOBER program with a ribbon cutting featuring Bally’s Headliner, Véronic. In addition, guests can visit Hard Rock’s Rock Shop throughout the month of October to customize Hard Rock’s classic t-shirt and make it pink for the cause. All events at Hard Rock Cafes in Las Vegas benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, an organization dedicated to combating breast cancer at every front.

As part of this year’s PINKTOBER program, both Hard Rock Cafe on the Strip and Hard Rock Cafe Las Vegas at Hard Rock Hotel invite guests to join Hard Rock on Saturday, October 5, 2013, for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk to help finish the fight against breast cancer.

Hard Rock’s PINKTOBER program encourages guests around the world to support breast cancer awareness by attending live music performances and pink-themed events at Hard Rock locations across the globe. Fans can visit their local Hard Rock and rock out for the cause with concerts and special events to benefit local breast cancer charities such as Susan G. Komen and other breast cancer research and awareness organizations.

Fans can also get into the hottest color of the season with Hard Rock’s 2013 PINKTOBER products, including a collector’s edition pin, T-shirt, bracelet, tote, robe, scarf, pink sheets and more!

About Susan G Komen for the Cure
Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure® and launched the global breast cancer movement. Today, Susan G. Komen is the boldest community fueling the best science and making the biggest impact in the fight against breast cancer. Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, we have invested almost $2 billion to fulfill our promise, working to end breast cancer in the U.S. and throughout the world through ground-breaking research, community health outreach, advocacy and programs in more than 50 countries.
