Fall Harvest & Breast Cancer Awareness MonthFull Month of October
Le Grand Courtâge
Throughout the month of October our welcome brut rosé being poured will be from Le Grand Courtâge. As a part of their “Clink for Pink” campaign, a portion of each bottle sold is donated to benefit the Susan G. Komen & The National Breast Cancer Foundations. Le Grand Courtâge is women-owned and at the end of the day we have all been impacted by this disease in some way. As we honor those who have battled breast cancer this month, we will “rosé it forward” by starting each guest’s visit with a nod to our Well Living programming.
Well Living: Cocktail for Charity
Hush, Octagon & River House
During the month of October, our Hush mixologists will craft a custom cocktail with proceeds going to benefit the Pledge the Pink Foundation.
Pink Ribbon Oysters
Octagon
Pink Ribbon Oysters are harvested with love from the Long Island Sound. Every oyster is uniformly cleaned and graded by hand to share consistent qualities: petite, plump and without cracks, which ensures natural moisture and superlative fridge life. 25% net revenue of every Pink Ribbon Oyster is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Every dozen oysters on the half shell helps find a cure. To learn more go to pinkribbonoysters.com
