Miami, FL November 24, 2008 -- An estimated 182,460 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women in 2008 alone, according to the American Cancer Society. The Beacon Hotel, a South Beach boutique hotel committed to community involvement, is doing its part to fight against this disease. Beginning in November, the hotel will raise funds for the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

The Beacon Hotel will be donating 20% of designated hotel booking proceeds to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation beginning November 1, 2008 and ending March 31, 2009.

We'sd love to raise at least $10,000 toward this worthy cause, said Elvis Taylor, general manager.

Guests can help the Beacon contribute to the foundation by booking packages designated as pink on the hotel'ss website, www.mybeaconhotel.com. Upon check-in, guests will receive a pink gift basket that will include awareness information provided by the foundation.

Since Taylor'ss leadership in 2003, the Beacon has been actively involved in the community through the Beacon Foundation, the hotel'ss community outreach arm. In four years, the Beacon has contributed $25,000 to World Vision through the sponsorship of 10 children. Additionally, hotel employees volunteer regularly with Habitat for Humanity. The hotel also works with Make a Wish Foundation. For more information on the hotel'ss community outreach efforts, visit www.thebeaconlobby.com (the hotel'ss blog).
