Gaylord Palms Hotel Announces a ‘Positively Pink’ Getaway To Support Susan G. Komen For the Cure®

Girlfriends Can Give Back Simply by Traveling

Kissimmee, Fla.—( April 21, 2009 ) Gaylord Palms® Hotel, a hot spot for the next generation “girlfriend’s getaways,” has launched a special-edition getaway program to bring women together while serving a cause – the Girlfriends “Positively Pink” Getaway. The new program will support local affiliates of Susan G. Komen For the Cure®, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit organizations devoted to the fight against breast cancer.

A spin-off of the successful Girlfriends “Truth or Dare” Getaway, “Positively Pink” offers an exclusive rate of $149 per room (based on a 4-room minimum.) For every group that holds a Girlfriends “Positively Pink” Getaway through December 30, 2009, Gaylord Palms will donate $50 to Susan G. Komen For the Cure® to aid in breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.

“This special getaway is perfect for any group of women ready to escape the realities in their life, and just enjoy a few nights of well-deserved ‘girl-time,’ says Suzanne Stephan, director of marketing for Gaylord Palms Hotel. “And best of all, this getaway experience will benefit a cause that has affected so many of us, directly and indirectly.”

Girlfriends “Positively Pink” Getaways start at a special rate of $149 per room, per night with a 4-room minimum. As an added bonus, one of the rooms will be upgraded to a spacious suite which is perfect for hosting in-suite activities.
