Hooters of Fort Myers is the place to be during the weekend of Oct. 4 to 6. The restaurant is hosting several events including the 2025 Hooters Calendar National Launch Party (Friday, Oct. 4), Self Help International’s Iowa Party (Saturday, Oct. 5) and Hooters and Hounds Pet Adoption Event (Sunday, Oct. 6). Plus, attendees will have the opportunity to meet Miss Hooters International and the 2025 Hooters Calendar Cover Girl plus more calendar girls at these events.

Don’t miss your first chance to purchase the just released 2025 Hooters Calendar during the National Launch event on Oct. 4 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Hooters of Fort Myers. Grab your calendar and get it signed by the calendar cover girl, centerfold, and 16 additional calendar girls including several from Southwest Florida. The event is open to the public. All 200 ladies in the calendar work at Hooters restaurants all over the country. One dollar of every Hooters Calendar sold supports the Kelly Jo Dowd Breast Cancer Research Fund benefiting the V Foundation for Cancer Foundation Research as part of the “Give a Hoot” fundraising efforts in October.

On Saturday, Oct. 5 from noon to 8 p.m. join Self Help International for the Iowa party in honor of Hooters of South Florida founder Dave “Lags” Lageschulte, a Waverly, Iowa native. Lags passed away in 2014, but his legacy and generosity endure. To celebrate his life, all auction proceeds and 5% of beverage and food sales will be donated to Self Help International, a charity Lags passionately supported in its mission to alleviate hunger in Nicaragua and Ghana. Watch both Iowa football teams live under the tent showcase. The event will feature a silent auction, Busch Light specials, grilled corn on the bob and special merchandise at Fort Myers Hooters.

On Sunday, Oct. 6 from 10 a.m. to noon Fort Myers Hooters is partnering with Lee County Domestic Animal Services, Gulf Coast Humane Society, Big Hearts for Big Dogs Rescue and Cape Coral Animal Shelter for a Hooters and Hounds Pet Adoption event. Adopt a dog at the event and receive a $25 Hooters gift card. Hooters and Hounds is a fun filled event for the community to come out and adopt a furry friend. The event also gives the agencies the opportunity to educate the community and bring awareness on their programs.

“We are thrilled to host events to raise funds and awareness for these important causes at Fort Myers Hooters. It is our priority to give back. We look forward to giving our Southwest Florida community the opportunity to meet this year’s 2025 Hooters Calendar Girls,” said Hooters of South Florida Director of Marketing Kristi Quarles.
