Southwest florida Hooters Employees Featured in 2026 Calendar, Proceeds Benefit Breast cancer Research
FORT MYERS, FL – Several Hooters employees from Southwest Florida are featured in the newly released 2026 Hooters calendar, with Fort Myers bartender Emily Hagedorn appearing as Miss April. The calendar’s release coincides with the restaurant chain’s annual “Give a Hoot” fundraising campaign for breast cancer research.
The 2026 Hooters Calendar is available for purchase at $16 at all Southwest Florida Hooters locations and for $25 online at hooterscalendar.com. Each in-store calendar includes $100 worth of coupons. One dollar from every calendar sale will be donated to the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Fund.
Hooters has a long-standing commitment to supporting breast cancer research, having raised over $10 million over the years, largely through the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Fund. The calendar release is a key component of their annual fundraising efforts.
“I love everything that hooters does – always giving back to the community,” said Reyes, a featured employee and FGCU student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. “I think that’s my favorite part of working there.”
While online versions of the calendar are available, the in-store calendars feature a special poster showcasing additional Hooters employees from Southwest Florida. More information can be found at hootersflorida.com.
