HOOTERS 40th Anniversary CHICAGO Concert for Breast Cancer Research
2023-10-07 | FL
As a thank you to our customers for their support for 40 years, HOOTERS is bringing the legendary rock band Chicago to Clearwater for a good cause. HOOTERS, in conjunction with the City of Clearwater are holding a benefit concert for Breast Cancer Research. The Grammy award-winning group will be playing at The Sound at Coachman Park on October 7th.
Proceeds from the Breast Cancer Research benefit concert will be donated to Moffitt Cancer Center and Morton Plant Mease Hospitals.
Hooters pre-sale tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, March 15th at 10:00am through Friday, March 17th at 10:00am with promo code HOOTERS40. Ticket prices are $40, $25, and $9. Tickets to the general public will be available on Friday, March 17th at 10:00am. All tickets can be purchased on RuthEckerdHall.com.
Chicago, the Grammy Award winning band is known for songs You’re The Inspiration and Hard to Say I’m Sorry and many more hits.
“We are looking forward to Chicago performing and raising funds for breast cancer research. Since our first week in business on October 4, 1983 giving back to our community has been a priority. We have raised and donated millions over the past 40 years. We are proud to give back and celebrate HOOTERS 40th Anniversary with the wonderful communities that have welcomed us for decades,” said HMC Hospitality Group CEO Neil Kiefer
The benefit concert is one of many ways Hooters will be celebrating all year. In honor of the anniversary, on the fourth of every month HOOTERS is also hosting “throwback” events bringing the 80’s back. The next event will kick off on Tuesday, April 4th at the Tampa Bay and Chicagoland HOOTERS locations. As a thank you to their customers, Hooters in Tampa Bay and Chicagoland will be offering wings for only 83 cents on the 4th of every month. There will be several in store specials throughout the year, featuring seafood specials and $19.83 crab legs.
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 around the world.
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.
HMC Hospitality Group owns and operates 22 HOOTERS Restaurants in Tampa Bay and Chicagoland and 3 HOOTS locations in Chicagoland.
