October 1st marks the first day of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In true Miami 
fashion, I headed down to Miami Beach to watch history in the making. For the first
time ever, [_**Fontainebleau Miami Beach**_](http://www.fontainebleau.com/) (pictured
above) has turned “[pink](http://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/4256257/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fpnk-tickets%2Fartist%2F718655)”
inside and out in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month as part of their
annual “[_**Bleau Goes Pink**_](http://www.fontainebleau.com/web/specials/bleau_goes_pink_2013)”
initiative in partnership with Susan G. Komen Miami/Ft. Lauderdale. The original
Morris Lapidus-designed Chateau Tower opened in 1954 will be lit throughout October,
along with light installations in the hotel lobby by artist James Turrell. I attended
their special lighting ceremony yesterday at the iconic hotel where local supporters
of the cause also gathered to register for the upcoming [_**Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure**_](http://www.komenmiaftl.org/komen-race-for-the-cure/race-information/).
Make sure to check out their website for all of the details on the race which will
take place on October 19th at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami.

and everyone looked at the hotel in amazement! Oh, I also found out that the hotel
has exclusively extended their [_**Miami Spice menu till the end of October**_](http://www.fontainebleau.com/web/specials/miami_spice).
