Hooters employees from South Florida, Southwest Florida and Sarasota distributed playground equipment to children at both Gateway Christian Academy and Bimini Primary School in Bimini. The Hooters Girls enjoyed spending time with the kids during their annual visit to Bimini for their 2025 Hooters Calendar shoots. In addition the group donated a computer, printer and a years worth of ink to the Bimini Primary School.
The seven Hooters Girls who participated in the school visit at Gateway Christian Academy are Alyssa Dukett (Fort Myers), Sarah Magda (Sarasota), Sloan Miavitz (Sarasota), Annye Posada (Doral), Emily Shaffer (Fort Myers), Hannah Carter (Fort Lauderdale Beach Place) and Chyna Veitch (Fort Lauderdale Beach Place).
The six Hooters Girls who participated in the visit to Bimini Primary School are Sloan Miavitz (Sarasota), Daniela Sosa (Port Charlotte), Abigail Fuqua (Boca Raton), Gracie Williams (Fort Lauderdale Beach Place), Nani Franzitta (Naples), Taylor Zalich (Naples) and were joined by LTP Management Marketing Department employees Kristi Quarles and Theresa Mynatt and St. Anthony Middle School students Jonah Quarles and Ryan Faulkner.
“Being able to give back and spend time with the kids at Gateway Christian Academy is always such a heart warming experience. Dropping off the toys to them and seeing all the smiles and joy it brought to them is something I will never forget and just makes me want to do it more often,” said Sarah Magda from Sarasota.
“Visiting Bimini Primary School and gifting toys to the kids was such a fulfilling and heartwarming experience. It’s moments like these that remind us of the joy in giving back and making a positive impact in someone’s life. This was my second year of being able to join South Florida Hooters in the Bahamas and I can definitely say that the visits we make to the schools are always the highlight of the trips. It’s a reminder of our blessings and the privilege to give back to others,” said Daniela Sosa who works at Port Charlotte Hooters.
“Being able to bring toys to the kids attending Bimini Primary School was an experience that was the cherry on top of the trip to Bimini with South Florida Hooters. The moment the kids saw us they lit up with joy and excitement. Playing with the toys together and engaging with them in laughter makes us understand what our blessings really are. We didn’t only get to give back by providing goods, but we gave in sharing good fellowship with them. That’s what meant the most and what life is truly about,” said Abigail Fuqua who works at Boca Raton Hooters.
“Having the opportunity to spend time with the kids at Gateway Christian Academy gave me a great sense of happiness and gratitude for being able to give back to such an amazing community,” said Hannah Carter from Beach Place Hooters.
