October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, women have about a 13 percent risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer over the course of their lifetime — that's one out of every eight women in the United States. Men can face a diagnosis as well: Recently, Beyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles, revealed he's battling the disease.

This month, restaurants across South Florida are doing their part to support the fight against breast cancer. From pink drinks to desserts, there are plenty of delicious ways to help raise funds to find a cure and support breast cancer fighters and survivors. Offers are good throughout this month unless otherwise specified.

Miami-Dade County

All Brimstone locations are offering Château Minuty rosé. The pink drink is available all month and will be available at South Florida locations such as Brimstone Woodfire Grill in Doral and Pembroke Pines, as well as Beach House Pompano. A portion of the sale proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society.

The Deck will host the Code Pink series every Thursday throughout the month. Specials include Calafuria Rosé and Chihuahua Cerveza for $5 each, and all of the proceeds will be donated to the Florida Breast Cancer Foundation. The event will also include a flower wall and a wishing tree where guests are invited to share wishes for themselves and their loved ones.

The Fontainebleau has partnered with Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Health System to host the 11th Bleau Goes Pink campaign. To raise awareness and funds for the cause, three-course prix fixes, priced at $55 per person excluding tax and gratuity, are available at StripSteak by Michael Mina, Scarpetta by Scott Conant, and Hakkasan. Each meal includes an appetizer, entrée, dessert, and glass of rosé. For every dinner ordered, $5 will be donated to Sylvester.

Gianni’s is offering a specialty pink cocktail, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The Pink Passion in the Mansion ($26) — a blend of passionfruit-infused vodka, fresh lemon juice, raspberries, and dragon fruit topped with champagne — is available at Gianni’s and Onyx Bar throughout October.

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the tower above the restaurant will be backlit in pink to raise awareness about the cause. And Lobster Bar pastry chef Mariela Cournoyer has created a limited-edition dessert available only during October; a portion of sales will go toward breast cancer research. The white chocolate raspberry crémeux features a vanilla cookie base topped with a layer of raspberry jam and custard covered in a pink-hued white chocolate glaze. The treat is served with strawberry sorbet and topped with an artful dab of whipped cream and a white chocolate shaving.
