a charity event supporting breast cancer research.

The 2015 Hooters Calendar Girls are touring the country this month (October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month) and Weatherspoon stopped by one of their Atlanta-area stops last week.

The restaurant chain is raising money for The V Foundation for Cancer Research by holding fundraising events, accepting donations, and contributing $1 from the price of each 2015 calendar to the research foundation.

Hooters also includes some tips for women on its web site, figuring maybe that's where women go for health advice. A sample:

"

women are affected by breast cancer in their lifetime; proactively ask about early breast cancer detection and steps you can take personally."
