For all my chef friends and restaurateurs: Dining Out for Life is April 26 ... and they need your restaurant to particpate.
What Is Dining Out for Life?
On Thursday, April 26, over 150 restaurants throughout the Washington, DC metropolitan area will donate 25-100 percent of their proceeds to Food & Friends.
Dining Out For Life is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. In exchange for their financial support, restaurants are listed in a city wide marketing campaign in an effort to increase customer traffic.
In 1991, Dining Out For Life was created by an ActionAIDS volunteer in Philadelphia. Dining Out is now produced in 60 cities throughout the United States and Canada.
More than 3,000 restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds from this one special day of dining to the licensed AIDS service agency in their city. More than $3 million dollars a year is raised to support the missions of 60 outstanding HIV/AIDS service organizations throughout North America. With the exception of the annual licensing fee of $1,150, all money raised in these cities stays locally.
Dining Out For Life International is a 501(c)4 nonprofit.
