Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa proudly continues its longstanding support of breast cancer awareness and research with the return of its annual PINKTOBER campaign. Throughout the month of October, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa is “going pink” by participating in fundraising efforts supporting the Hard Rock Heals Foundation®, the charitable arm of Hard Rock, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society and local charities.

"We’re proud to be a part of Hard Rock International’s 25th PINKTOBER anniversary with our annual Pinktober Poker Open, limited-edition merchandise and so much more, to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer research,” said Steve Bonner, President of Seminole Hard Rock Tampa. "We hope these activities inspire the local community and visitors to give back to the cause to help find a cure."

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa will once again be the $60,000 Pink Premier Sponsor for this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, scheduled for Saturday, October 26, at Raymond James Stadium. For details about the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, please visit www.MakingStridesWalk.org/TampaFL.

Over 400 Seminole Hard Rock Tampa team members signed up to donate one percent or two percent of their pay for the month of October to benefit the American Cancer Society. Those team members will partake in “Think Pink Thursdays” by wearing signature “Rockin’ Walkstars” shirts to work.
