In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we've taken the liberty of finding the best places to eat, drink, and donate for a good cause.
Here, a few local establishments that will be cooking -- and pouring -- for a cure:
Pinktober at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
To help raise funds for and awareness about breast cancer, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is bringing back its Pinktober campaign this month.

"Tacos, Tequila, and Tatas Tuesdays" at Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar
During October, all three locations of Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar will donate a percentage of their famed Taco and Tequila Tuesday sales to breast cancer research benefiting Susan G. Komen. The event, appropriately named "Tacos, Tequila, and Tatas Tuesdays," is priced at $14.99 per person. Guests can chow down on all-you-can-eat tacos, including Rocco's signature chicken, pork, steak, beef, mushroom, shrimp, or mahi tacos, each fully loaded.
The special is available every Tuesday from open to close, and drink specials start at 7 p.m., including $5 tequila drinks and shots, $15 margarita pitchers, $3 Mexican beers, and $6 ultimate vodka drinks.
Also, in hopes of generating additional contributions, anytime Rocco is on the bar pouring free Patrón shots in October, he'll also be collecting donations.You can catch him in his custom-made breast cancer awareness pink patent leather shoes at all three locations.
