On May 24, 2007 Hooters suffered a tremendous loss with the passing of 1995 Hooters Calendar Cover Girl, Manager, and Cancer Fighting Symbol Kelly Jo Dowd. One of the original Hooters Girls, Kelly Jo, worked her way up the Hooters ranks to manager of the Palm Harbor location.
Kelly Jo was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002 and spent the last five years of her life battling this dreaded disease. Through the 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 Brand Management will donate all proceeds from the endowment cards, at least $0.50 per eligible drink purchased from October 1 through October 31, 2026, $1.00 per calendar purchased beginning 10/1/26, and all customer donations made in restaurant including rounding up from October 1 through October 31, 2026 to support breast cancer research. All donations from customers or eligible purchases made in restaurants throughout the U.S. will be granted to the V Foundation. See participating local Hooters or hooters.com/give for details.
