BCAM: Hooters’ ‘Support Our Hooters’ campaign raises money for breast cancer awareness
Hooters wants you to help save the hooters.
The “breastaurant” chain famous for its curvy servers is trying to raise $500,000 during October for The V Foundation for Cancer Research in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“Women make up 70% of Hooters employees; and with one in eight women affected by breast cancer in their lifetime, there is no cause more relevant to our organization than the fight against this disease,” the chain said in a press release.
The “Support Our Hooters” campaign includes “pink passion” drink specials and pink bracelets (“Give a hoot and tell us who your support!”) that come with a donation of $3 or more.
One dollar from each 2015 Hooters calendar purchase will go toward the fundraising efforts, and supporters are encouraged to donate online to benefit the Kelly Jo Dowd Fund, which was named after one of the original Hooters Girls who died from the disease in 2007.
