15 Jun Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa turns pink with fundraising leading up to 5th annual Maui Paddle for a Cure

Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa turns pink with fundraising beginning on National Pink Day on June 23. Maui Paddle for a Cure is a fun, non-competitive event in support of Susan G. Komen Hawaii, which will be held on Oct. 13 during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and takes stand up, kayak and canoe paddlers along the beautiful shoreline of Ka’anapali Beach. New this year, the resort launches the “Cabanas for a Cure” program, available through Oct. 31. It will feature a Pink Ocean Hale(Hawaiian for House) package complete with an oceanfront cabana and tropical cocktails, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Susan G. Komen Hawaii. Additional promotions including pink merchandise, food and beverage and spa treatments will also return on National Pink Day.

“The annual Maui Paddle for a Cure is very special to us. With the support of the community and our guests, it has raised more than $115,000 for Susan G. Komen Hawaii to date,” said Fred Findlen, General Manager at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa. “This year, we aim to encourage more people than ever before to join us in the fight against breast cancer through the addition of Cabanas for a Cure to our other fundraising efforts.”

In celebration of National Pink Day, the following offers will kick off on June 23.

• June 23–Oct. 31: Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa will unveil a new Pink Ocean Hale package featuring two pink Ocean Hales as part of its new “Cabanas for a Cure” program.

The Pink Ocean Hale package includes two complimentary cocktails (a choice between Strawberry Daiquiris or house Mai Tais). A portion of the proceeds generated from Cabanas for a Cure will benefit Susan G. Komen Hawaii.
