Hooters Holding Fun Events To Raise Funds For Breast Cancer Research

Boca Raton, FL – South Florida Hooters locations will be hosting various fundraising events throughout the entire month of October. During each event your favorite Hooters Girls and Hooters Calendar Girls will be working hard to help raise funds. All of the money raised will go to the Kelly Jo Dowd Fund and The V Foundation for Cancer Research.
The restaurant as part of their Give-A-Hoot initiative will be raising money all October at South Florida Hooters locations in the name of Kelly Jo Dowd. Kelly Jo Dowd, one of the original Hooters Girls, graced the cover of the 1995 Hooters Calendar and worked her way up the Hooters ranks to manager of the Palm Harbor location. In 2002, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and despite radical and aggressive treatment; on May 24, 2007, the Hooters system suffered a tremendous loss with her passing. Kelly Jo spent the last five years of her life battling this dreaded disease. Through this struggle, she was courageous and selfless, becoming an advocate for early detection, education and fundraising in the battle against breast cancer within the Hooters organization.
