CLEARWATER, Fla. – World-famous HOOTERS is celebrating 40 years in business on October 4, 2023, and in honor of this anniversary, they are hosting several not-to-miss celebration events from October 4th to 7th.
Events include a party at The Original Clearwater HOOTERS, a 2024 HOOTERS Calendar Launch, several autograph signings, and a Breast Cancer Research Benefit Concert with the legendary Grammy award-winning rock band Chicago.
During the calendar launch and signings, customers can meet the calendar girls and get their calendar signed.
HOOTERS, in conjunction with the City of Clearwater, is holding the benefit concert for Breast Cancer Research at The Sound at Coachman Park on Saturday, October 7th.
Chicago is known for its songs such as You’re The Inspiration, Hard to Say I’m Sorry, and many more hits. Proceeds from the Breast Cancer Research benefit concert will be donated to Moffitt Cancer Center and Morton Plant Mease Hospital.
Both organizations will be presented with a donation on stage as part of the festivities. The evening will also feature an opening act by Moffitt’s house band The ReMissions.
Brought together by Moffitt CEO and keyboardist, Dr. Patrick Hwu, The ReMissions can be found entertaining fans at events around Tampa and beyond.
Moffitt’s house band is made up entirely of Moffitt team members, including Dr. Dana Ataya, Vocals (Breast Radiologist), Jeff Leighton, Bass (Registered Nurse, Intensive Care Unit), Dr. James Mulé, Guitar (Researcher), Ron Zalva, Drums (Security), Mike Tworoger, Guitar (Research Administration), Shelley Tworoger, Vocalist (Researcher), Mark Robertson-Tessi, Mandolin (Mathematician) and Samson Liu, Ph.D., Violin (USF Student)
Hooters was created and fittingly incorporated on April Fool’s Day in 1983 by six businessmen, L.D. Stewart, Gil DiGiannantonio, “Uncle Billy” Ranieri, Ed Droste, Dennis Johnson, and Ken Wimmer. Soon after, the doors to the first HOOTERS restaurant opened on October 4th at 2800 Gulf-To-Bay Boulevard in Clearwater, Florida.
The refreshing beach-like oasis was one of the first to introduce Buffalo-style chicken wings nationwide, and with the help of the iconic Hooters Girls, to foreign countries worldwide.
After 40 years, the original HOOTERS founders have stayed intact and continue to grow the concept in their territories retained in the Tampa Bay area and Chicagoland.
