For twenty years our very generous restaurant community has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for WNCAP, the oldest HIV/AIDS service agency in Western North Carolina. Today, our mission is to provide equitable access to care and reduce harm from HIV, Hepatitis C, and drug use.
As difficult as the last two years have been for our clients, we know our restaurant community is suffering too. This year, WNCAP will drive customers to participating restaurants and we are asking restaurants to drive donors back to us.
To reward our restaurant community for their continued support, the restaurant that drives the most donors to WNCAP will receive recognition via print and social media. The top three servers from across our participating restaurants will receive cash prizes!
How can you help? Dine out for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert on Thursday, April 28th. When donating, include the name of the restaurant and your server. Then everybody wins!
Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. The concept is simple: Restaurants donate a generous percent of their sales to a local HIV service organization, and the local HIV service organization fills participating restaurants with diners. Participating is even easier: locate a Dining Out For Life event in a city near you, find a restaurant from the list of participating locations, and on that city’s event date: Dine Out to End HIV.
Each year, more than 50 local HIV service organizations partner with 2,400+ participating restaurants, 4,100+ volunteers, and 300,000+ diners to raise over $4.5 million for people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States and Canada. Best part? All funds raised through a city’s Dining Out For Life event stay in that city to provide help and hope to people living with or impacted by HIV/AIDS.
You can participate too! Find out if your city participates in Dining Out For Life by clicking on the interactive map on the homepage.
