My grandma was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, she went under a lot of treatments, chemo, surgery, and everything that went a long with it. She is doing great now! Anything “breast cancer” definitely pulls at my heart strings a bit, so I figured I’d advertise this for Hard Rock in Tampa, I was contacted directly by them, so this is their wording they asked me to post!
TAMPA, Fla. Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa adds a pop of pink
this October in honor of Hard Rock International¹s 13th annual PINKTOBER
breast cancer awareness campaign. For the 2012 campaign Hard Rock has teamed
up with international, female pop-duo Bananarama to raise awareness and
funds for a cause that affects people across the globe. As 2012 PINKTOBER
brand ambassadors, Bananarama will entertain fans and survivors at a special
PINKTOBER concert at Hard Rock Cafe on Friday, October 5 at 9 p.m. Tickets
go on sale on September 13 at 10 a.m.
³Everyone knows someone whose life has been affected by breast cancer,² said
Sara Dallin, cofounder of Bananarama. ³So when Hard Rock offered us the
opportunity to take part in PINKTOBER and support a great cause in a fun
way, we jumped at the chance.²
Best known for the chart topping singles including ³Venus,² ³Cruel Summer²
and ³I Heard a Rumor,² Bananarama will perform these and other hits in honor
of PINK, while celebrating their 30th anniversary as the most successful
female pop group in history. As the group turns 30, an age when breast
cancer screening becomes increasingly critical, Bananarama is driving
awareness to appeal to their fan base and beyond.
Tickets cost $15 for the general admission standing-room-only show and will
be available at the Hard Rock Store and all Ticketmaster outlets online at
