Support “Give a Hoot”; Plus Get Your 2026 Hooters Calendar at the Tampa Bay area Hooters Locations

Hooters is supporting breast cancer awareness month with the release of the 2026 Hooters Calendar and their annual “Give a Hoot” fundraising campaign at all Tampa Bay area Hooters locations.

The 2026 Hooters Calendar is now available for purchase at all Tampa Bay Hooters locations for $15.99 and includes over $100 in coupons. $1 of every calendar sold goes to Hooters “Give a Hoot” campaign for breast cancer research. Locally the money raised benefits Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL. All of the 200 ladies in the calendar work at Hooters restaurants across the country and were selected from thousands of candidates. Tampa Bay area Hooters girls featured include centerfold Ashton Johannesson (St. Petersburg, FL), Miss February Ireland Dabydeen (Madeira Beach, FL) and Miss June Gracie Chamberlain (Brandon, FL). Plus, an additional 24 local ladies featured throughout the calendar and in the pull-out poster. The Hooters Calendar is celebrating 40 years since the first Hooters Calendar was released in 1986.

During the entire month of October, Hooters is holding their annual “Give a Hoot” fundraising campaign. There are multiple opportunities to support the cause, including purchasing a 2026 Hooters Calendar. More ways the community can help and join their local Hooters restaurant in the fight against breast cancer include:

1. $1 of every Hooters Calendar sold locally supports Moffitt Cancer Center.
2. Add their name to a PERSONALIZED ENDOWMENT CARD to hang up in the restaurant or take home.
3. Enjoy a PINK DRINK created to raise awareness and funds.
4. PINK UP their check when you visit Hooters. Add a cash or credit card donation to their check.

Since 2002, Original Hooters has donated over $1,814,311 to Moffitt Cancer Center through “Give a Hoot” and other charitable commitments. The program is held annually in honor of Original Hooters own Kelly Jo Dowd, who was a Hooters Girl, 1995 Hooters Calendar Cover Girl and ultimately the Palm Harbor restaurant General Manager. Dowd succumbed to breast cancer in 2007. Hooters has raised more than $10 million over time to support the fight against breast cancer, much of it through the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Fund benefiting the V Foundation for Cancer Research.
