Project Pink was developed in 2010 by Red Rock’s executive pastry chef Jaret Blinn, who together with the executive team at Red Rock Resort, have become active in the fight against breast cancer after Blinn’s mother lost her battle with the disease. The response by the public was so overwhelming that the company expanded those efforts to all Grand Café locations and then further grew the charity effort to several areas throughout each property to raise even greater awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer.

“On behalf of the Komen Southern Nevada Affiliate, I want to extend our gratitude to Station Casinos for their generosity and true passion for this cause.  This is the third year they have reached out to us to partner in this fight against breast cancer and we are so pleased that they are taking such an active role in not only raising awareness for their guests, but for their valued team members as well,” said Stephanie Kirby Executive Director for the Southern Nevada Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure^®.
