Standing Together for Awareness and Hope

Every October, the world unites in shades of pink, a symbol of compassion, hope, and strength.
At the Grand Hotel Excelsior, our team proudly joined the global movement in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month through our Pink October initiative.

This heartfelt event brought together colleagues from all departments.

They showed their solidarity by wearing pink and joining a friendly gathering held in front of the staff canteen.
Team members enjoyed delicious homemade muffins, shared smiles, and contributed donations to support breast cancer awareness efforts.

As Tamara Ilić, Assistant HR Manager, shared:

“Pink October is more than just a day of wearing pink, it’s a reminder of compassion, unity, and the importance of awareness. At the Grand Hotel Excelsior, we stand together to support those affected and to spread hope within our community.”
