Hard Rock Cafe Miami Partners with Zoo Miami and Zoological Society of Florida Through Limited-Edition Pin Series to Benefit the Association Of Zoos and Aquariums and Zoo Miami

The Jaguar Pin
Lions, tigers and bears have made their way to Hard Rock Cafes across the U.S. and locally at Hard Rock Cafe Miami in partnership with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).  Hard Rock Cafe Miami has launched a special Jaguar pin with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the AZA and Zoo Miami.  This limited-edition design features a jaguar from the Amazon & Beyond exhibit and is now available for purchase at Hard Rock Cafe Miami for $14, while supplies last. Hard Rock Cafe Miami is one of 24 Hard Rock locations nationwide offering city-specific, endangered species guitar pins. Please visit www.hardrock.com/miami or call 305-377-3110 for additional details.

In celebration of this pin, Hard Rock Cafe Miami will be hosting a Happy Hour fundraiser for the Zoological Society of Florida on June 9, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at its Bayside location (401 Biscayne Blvd., R-200).  There will be a live band, hors d’oeuvres, cash bar and a raffle to win rockin’ prizes, including the entire 24 Hard Rock Cafe Endangered Species Pin Collection, tickets to Feast With The Beasts, an Annual Pass to Zoo Miami and more!  A $10 donation benefits the Zoological Society of Florida’s wildlife education and conservation programs.
