WHAT: Hard Rock Cafe at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa will be hosting an open to the public American Red Cross of Central Florida Benefit Event that will feature a charity slot tournament, red carpet ceremony and check presentation of funds raised for the month.

The slot tournament has an entry fee of $10 and 50 percent of those proceeds will be donated to the charity and 50 percent to the prize pool. Tickets can be purchased at the Rock Shop or upon entry of the event.

Throughout the month, the property has also been selling customized limited edition earbuds in its retail shops for $10 with 100 percent of the proceeds generated going to the charity.

Headquartered in Tampa, the American Red Cross of Central Florida serves over 8.2 million people in Brevard, Charlotte, Citrus, DeSoto, Flagler, Hardee, Hernando, Hillsborough, Lake, Manatee, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia Counties. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it serves families throughout the community thanks to a team of 3,000 adult and youth volunteers. Together, these dedicated volunteers donate over 300,000 hours of community service a year. These hours translate into a highly trained and highly skilled team; a fun and supportive work environment; and the delivery of critical mission services to families in desperate need every day.
