The restaurant as part of their Give-A-Hoot initiative will be raising money 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.   Hooters Calendars will be available at all Hooters locations on October 1^st.  The Calendars are $12.95 with $1.00 of every calendar going to the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Fund benefiting the V Foundation for Cancer Foundation Research.   LTP Management, a Franchisee of Hooters of America, owns and operates 16 locations in South Florida.   For more information about South Florida Hooters and their involvement in the community please visit www.HootersFlorida.com or follow us at Twitter @HootersFlorida, Instagram @SouthFLHooters and Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/hootersflorida/.
