Hooters to Hooters 80 Mile Bicycle Ride Supporting Local American Cancer Society Unit
Date:10/27/2008

ATLANTA, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, October 28th a group of bicyclists will leave the Hooters of Kirkman Road at 7:00 AM to begin their 80 mile journey to raise money and awareness for cancer research, supporting the Orlando Metro and Central Florida American Cancer Society Unit.

The destination point of the ride is the Hooters of Daytona, Florida. This is the 4th year the team, led by Hooters General Manager Jeff Spraker, took to the road for the cause. "This ride is near and dear to my heart because cancer has affected many people in my life and this is my chance to contribute toward a cure," stated Spraker. Last year, the ride took about 6 hours, putting the group at the Hooters in Daytona just in time for lunch.

The team has already raised over $1,000 for this year's ride. Hooters also supports cancer research on a national level and the Hooters of Orlando Airport alone has contributed over $5,000 between the ride and an effort supporting a $1 million research grant in the name of former Hooters Calendar Cover Girl and Manager, Kelly Jo Dowd, who passed away from breast cancer. Over the last 3 years Hooters has donated over $750,000 toward the goal.

If anyone is interested in participating in the ride or making a donation to the cause, they can do so at the Hooters of Orlando Airport, located at 7222 Augusta National Drive. The store can be reached at 407-850-2552.
