Request a Think Pink Pedicure or Tickled Pink Massage at The Greenbrier Spa or a Vixen Cosmo, Vixen Pretty in Pink or Vixen Ta Ta Tini in The Greenbrier restaurants during the month of October to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.
