Breast Cancer Awareness Month Begins: Corendon Village Hotel Illuminates Boeing 747 in Pink

From October 1 through the end of the month, the iconic Boeing 747 at Corendon Village Hotel Amsterdam—located next to the A9—will glow pink. This striking display aligns with the global tradition of illuminating landmarks in pink to raise awareness for breast cancer during Pink Ribbon Month.

"Throughout October, our prominent aircraft in the hotel garden will be lit in pink to spotlight the vital work of Pink Ribbon and the urgent need to fund groundbreaking research," said Martin de Boer, Director of Marketing at Corendon Hotels.

Countless campaigns worldwide also aim to educate on breast cancer and fund research. For more details, visit www.pinkribbon.nl.

Key Breast Cancer Statistics
Continued research is essential. In the Netherlands, 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer—that's over 17,000 women annually. Survival rates are improving, yet more than 3,000 women die from the disease each year. Men can also develop breast cancer.
