Pink Vacations: 9 Ways To Vacation For A Cause

Provenance Hotels has partnered with Keep A Breast, a global nonprofit breast cancer organization, to promote breast cancer awareness by featuring an original work of art from the Keep A Breast archive of breast casts. Each room at all hotels is stocked with Keep A Breast's magazine and educational self-exam cards, and each hotel is selling $4 "I Heart Boobies" bracelets at its front desk.

Provenance Hotels is also donating 10 percent of its room rates to Keep A Breast for rooms booked in October. Guests looking to buy cocktails can also give back. Order a Rose City Drop at the Driftwood Room at Hotel deLuxe, a cosmopolitan at the lobby bar at Hotel Murano, or at Pink Slip at Hotel Preston during the month of October and Provenance Hotels will donate $1 to Keep A Breast.

Taking a cue from the hotel's new food philosophy "Food. Thoughtfully Sourced. Carefully Served," the Park Hyatt Toronto has partnered with the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's initiative for a future without breast cancer to launch a wellness campaign in October that bridges the connection between a healthier diet and the role it plays in decreasing the risk of breast cancer.
