Around Royal Resorts you’ll see that many employees have been wearing a pink ribbon this October to show their support for World Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the campaign to eradicate the disease.
The Royal Resorts Foundation is raising money to pay for cancer screening and treatment for patients from the poorest sectors of society. You can help by making a donation online at www.royalresortsfoundation.org or by purchasing specially priced reading glasses (cost $100 pesos) available at The Royal Market and Paloma Gift Shop. With your purchase you will be helping to pay for vital breast cancer treatment for women from low-income backgrounds who are unable to cover medical fees themselves. Give a ray of hope to someone in need.
In other World Breast Cancer Awareness month news, you’ll see many buildings in Cancún and Playa del Carmen sporting pink lighting and ribbons as a gesture of solidarity and there have been walks and other events.
As part of the cancer awareness program and an initiative supported by the CROC labor union social services agency, a mobile health center is at The Royal Islander and The Royal Sands this week to carry out breast cancer examinations and pap smears, and to make mammogram appointments for female employees who need them.
