As National Breast Cancer Awareness Month gets underway, the travel industry is giving you a chance to contribute to the cure when you stay in certain hotels and purchase special pink-themed items and experiences. Here's a round-up of how your October travels can give back:

A portion of Spur Restaurant & Bar's 'Beet Cancer' cocktail will be donated to the Women's Healthcare Fund at St. John's Hospital in Jackson Hole. The recipe for the cocktail includes beet-infused gin, ginger, St. Germaine and one egg white.
Hotel Terra Jackson Hole in Jackson Hole, WY
CHILL Spa's "Chill for a Cause" treatments all give back 10% of proceeds to the Breast Cancer division of Saint John's Women's Healthcare Fund. Choose from a fun selection of facials and massages including the Pink Awareness Grapefruit Facial, Fight like a Girl Facial, and the Live, Love and Get a Massage treatment. Prices start at $129 for a 50-minute session.

You can also snack on complimentary pink-frosted guitar cookies at the Maryjane diner and purchase PINKTOBER™ menu items like Pink Milk Shakes, Pink Pineapple Mimosas and Pinkberry Cosmos. Pamper yourself at the Indulge Spa with an invigorating 40-minute Pink Sugar Whip Body Scrub to benefit PINKTOBER™.

Party with a purpose at the hotel's Addiction nightclub, where 50% of cover charges on Friday nights will be donated to The Keep Keep a Breast Foundation and $300 bottles of Veuve Rose are discounted.
