To kick off National Breast Cancer Awareness Month a little early this year, Hooters Concord participated in Leatherman Lane’s Horse Lovers and Breast Cancer Awareness fundraising event with Miss Hooters 2021 Gianna Tulio on September 17 to benefit Go Jen Go, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing critical financial assistance to local individuals and families battling breast cancer.

At the event, Hooters Concord along with Miss Hooters 2021 Gianna Tulio, a Concord resident, presented a donation check of $1,500 to support this non-profit’s efforts. The money was raised at Hooters Concord, Burlington and Gastonia at car washes over the last few weeks to raise this money.

Overall, the event was a great success with about 1,000 attendees and nearly $6,500 raised. To learn more about Go Jen Go's work , visit this website. Check out Hooters' website to find out more about their community outreach programs.
