(October 2018) – Global hospitality company TAO Group and its charitable arm, TAO Cares, announces its mission for October’s World Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Once again, for the entire month of October, all of TAO Group’s restaurant brands nationwide, including TAO Uptown, TAO Downtown, LAVO Italian Restaurant, Bodega Negra, Vandal, Beauty & Essex, The Stanton Social, Legasea and Egghead in New York City; TAO, LAVO Italian Restaurant and Beauty & Essex in Las Vegas; TAO, Beauty & Essex and The Highlight Room in Los Angeles; newly opened TAO in Chicago; as well as nightlife brands such as Avenue, Marquee, TAO Nightclub and LAVO Nightclub will raise money through their #DRINKPINK campaign and special “pink” desserts with proceeds donated by TAO Cares to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
“Our month-long mission for World Breast Cancer Awareness is another company-wide effort for TAO Group and we are so proud of TAO Cares’ continued efforts to give back to the communities that inspire us,” said TAO Group partner and TAO Cares founder Judy Tepperberg. “We are thrilled to once again come together as an organization to provide support and raise awareness around the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer with our #DRINKPINK campaign and new pink desserts at all our restaurant venues.”
TAO Group’s #DRINKPINK campaign revolves around the #DRINKPINK specialty cocktail made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Aperol, grapefruit and lime. Participating venues include all TAO and LAVO locations, all Beauty & Essex locations, Bodega Negra, The Stanton Social, Vandal, Legasea, PHD, PHD Terrace, Magic Hour and The Highlight Room.
