What if your next poolside smoothie could do more than cool you off? This summer, there’s a new way to treat yourself and make an impact at the same time. Introducing a special kind of feel-good indulgence: a tropical-inspired nonalcoholic smoothie that not only tastes like vacation but also helps support children’s hospitals with every sip.
MEET THE PIÑA COALE-ADA SMOOTHIE
Your smoothie-that-makes-a-difference is called the Piña Coale‑ada. It’s a bright and refreshing nonalcoholic beverage that blends classic piña colada flavor with a swirl of blue raspberry. But this smoothie is more than just delicious, it’s personal. The name was inspired by Coale, a young Children’s Miracle Network Champion whose story helped bring this smoothie to life. When asked about his favorite smoothie, a playful idea from his mom sparked the now-signature name—turning a simple summer favorite into a meaningful tribute that celebrates his strength and spirit.
SIP, STAY, AND SUPPORT
Owners and guests can find the Piña Coale‑ada smoothie at select resort pool bars and grill outlets, making it easy to give back while enjoying time in the sun. A dollar of every smoothie raises funds for local Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals—it’s a simple way to turn a vacation moment into something truly meaningful.
A PARTNERSHIP THAT MAKES AN IMPACT
Marriott Vacations Worldwide’s relationship with CMN is rooted in community and connection. Funds raised through resort initiatives stay local, helping children’s hospitals in the same communities where Owners, guests, and associates live, work, and vacation. Over the years, this partnership has driven incredible impact, with more than $25 million raised to support children’s health and well-being.
A DELICIOUS WAY TO GIVE BACK
The next time you’re lounging poolside, consider making your order count for a little more. The Piña Coale‑ada smoothie is a reminder that even small moments can create big change.
