TAMPA, Fla. (October 21, 2015) – Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa team members have raised almost $19,000 in three weeks to support of Hard Rock International’s PINKTOBER® program, a month-long effort to help fund research for prevention and a cure for breast cancer.

To date, a total of 970 team members have donated one percent of their weekly paychecks for the month of October.
This is the 16th year of Hard Rock International’s support of PINKTOBER® and the eighth year of Seminole Hard Rock Tampa’s involvement.
