The 2027 Hooters national calendar is now on sale at local restaurants, and part of each purchase goes toward breast cancer research. The calendar costs $16.99 at all South Florida locations.
This year’s edition features staff from restaurants across South Florida, stretching up to Sarasota. Kristi Quarles, who spoke in the segment, said this is the 41st year of the calendar and that more than 60 million copies have sold. Over 5,000 Hooters employees have been featured worldwide.
Haley Espinoza, one of the women featured, said more than 200 employees across the U.S. are chosen each year, with only a few from each store. She called it an honor.
Proceeds support the annual “Give a Hoot” campaign. Quarles said $1 from every calendar benefits the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Fund, and the money stays in South Florida at the Miami Cancer Institute at Baptist Health.
Shoppers can also support the cause by buying one of two new pink drinks, the Pink Horizon or the KJD Punch, according to Angelini Valencia. The restaurant has 14 locations in South Florida.
