The MGallery Collection of hotels is proud to announce that throughout the month of October, its hotels in Australia will raise awareness and funding for breast cancer prevention, with the proceeds raised going directly to the McGrath Foundation, a breast cancer support and education charity, which places breast care nurses in communities across Australia and spreads breast health awareness. This campaign is in keeping with MGallery's commitment to women's issues as a pioneering brand in addressing the distinct needs of female travellers.
MGallery has supported breast cancer awareness since 2018 and this year, the hotels will expand their efforts to not only raise donations, but to educate and promote breast cancer prevention. All guest bathroom mirrors will feature pink stickers that include a QR code that will guide women towards a podcast and educational video that will show them how to perform a self-examination to detect breast cancer.
With early detection being the key to surviving breast cancer, hotel stays provide a good opportunity to do a self-check, as busy women often have more time to focus on themselves away from home.
Employees will also proudly wear Pink Ribbons and some hotels will host talks to further raise awareness.
“MGallery hotels are committed to women's issues globally and we are proud to play our part in helping to prevent breast cancer, which is the most commonly diagnosed cancer amongst women in Australia,” said Marcus Hanna, VP Operations, Pacific Sofitel, MGallery & Emblems. “As a brand that is very much designed for women, we know that this campaign could help save lives.”
In addition to the awareness campaign, every guest staying at an MGallery hotel through the month of October will be asked to make a $2 donation to support the McGrath Foundation.
As a brand dedicated to women, MGallery hotels focus on making women feel welcome through a range of services and special considerations throughout their stay across a range of beauty items, feminine touches, and special gestures. For example, items such as nail polish remover, sunscreen and make-up remover are available through reception, alongside curated menus, and health and fitness services.
Today, MGallery represents a network of more than 120 boutique hotels worldwide. Every single one has a different history and heritage, and is an integral part of its local community. Each hotel is full of character, and carries within its DNA the notion of giving back to the community, especially in terms of empowering women.
