Dallas, U.S.A., 2012-09-07 — /travelprnews.com/ — Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas celebrates its 28th year of fighting cancer in its community by raising money for treatment and awareness of the disease among local citizens. To date, Cool October sporting and social events have contributed more than USD 2.3 million to the Irving Healthcare Foundation in support of the Cancer Center at Baylor Medical Center at Irving, the city’s only not-for-profit hospital. Since 1992, every advancement in treatment at the Cancer Center has been funded in part by proceeds from these events.
Cool October consists of a series of public and private fundraising events held throughout the month that collectively raise more than USD 100,000 for the cause each year. The excitement and passion behind the events are driven by the more than 700 employees of the Resort and the supportive corporate sponsors and private members of The Sports Club at Four Seasons. Cool October is inspired by the story of Canadian Terry Fox, who lost his life to cancer at a young age, but not before he awoke a nation to the need for cancer research through his cross-Canada run, known as the Marathon of Hope.
This year’s fundraising events include:
In addition to these amazing events, Four Seasons Resort and Club will also be offering a special “Pink Drink” during the entire month of October in support of breast cancer awareness as part of a larger national beverage promotion. The Saint Sparkles (alcoholic) and Lemon Berry Mocktail (non-alcoholic) will be available at Bar 19 and the Terrace Lounge, with USD 2.00 of each drink purchase being donated to the Irving Healthcare Foundation.
Proceeds from Cool October 2012 support the latest in cancer treatment technology with patient information mapping software, a breast cancer patient navigator, remote access project for physician coordination, an interactive pen display for oncologists, as well as education and outreach programs. Past funds have supported:
