Event to Benefit City of Hope, Raise Awareness and Support for Breast Cancer Research
[dropcap letter=”L”]os Angeles, CA, September 25, 2015 – Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood on Hollywood Blvd. is uniting musicians, supporters and survivors in honor of the brand’s 16th annual PINKTOBERTM campaign! On October 8, 2015, Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood on Hollywood Blvd. will host a special, public performance by Kaya Stewart at 8 p.m. The event is free, but attendees will have the opportunity to make a donation to benefit City of Hope, a leader in the fight against breast cancer.
The world-famous Hard Rock brand is thinking pink in support of the 16th Annual PINKTOBER campaign. Starting now through the month of October, guests can support breast cancer research to help eradicate a disease that affects millions by visiting Hard Rock properties around the world and purchasing pink merchandise, pink drinks and pink hotel amenities. Proceeds from PINKTOBER will benefit research and awareness-driving efforts for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and cafe events will benefit additional local breast cancer charities around the globe, including City of Hope.
“PINKTOBER is our annual opportunity to bring together our community for a great cause and we are excited for local supporters and survivors to once again join our fight against breast cancer,” said Selin Demren, Senior Sales and Marketing Manager of Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood. “Our hope is to raise awareness and funds for City of Hope and we’re thrilled to partner with the talented Kaya Stewart to achieve that goal.”

About Kaya Stewart
London-born, Los Angeles-bred Kaya Stewart is a 15-year-old singer and songwriter who fell in love with the early soul records of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Aretha Franklin after being given a record player for her birthday. Deeply influenced by growing up in a musical household that included her father, songwriter-producer-musician Dave Stewart, and two older musician brothers, Kaya began focusing on lyrics and melodies, documenting her personal experiences for the songs that are featured on her In Love With A Boy EP (released on July 10, 2015). The EP was produced by Dave Stewart, who sets Kaya’s naturally soulful voice atop a sound that channels rock and R&B elements into pop songs driven by edgy electronic beats. Her upcoming full-length album for Warner Bros. Records is due later this year.
