This is the 13th year of Seminole Hard Rock Tampa’s involvement with PINKTOBER.

Seminole Hard Rock Tampa will once again be the Pink Premier Sponsor for this year’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer (Virtual) Walk, scheduled for the weekend of October 17th. For details about the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, please visit www.makingstrideswalk.org.

Throughout the month of October, Seminole Hard Rock Tampa will be participating in the campaign through fundraising efforts supporting the Hard Rock Heals Foundation®, the charitable arm of Hard Rock®.

“We are truly honored to once again provide support to those in need and we are especially proud to work with the American Cancer Society during PINKTOBER,” said Seminole Hard Rock Tampa President Steve Bonner. “We encourage guests to come out to support this cause, while spreading a message of strength, hope and awareness for those affected by this disease.”

Pink is the Color for Fall

The property’s Rock Shop® will help guests show their pink pride by offering limited edition PINKTOBER masks for sale. Please visit the Rock Shop® or go online at https://shop.hardrock.com.
