The mission of TPAN (Test Positive Aware Network) is saving lives and empowering those affected by HIV/AIDS and related illnesses. We remain one of the oldest and most experienced providers for those affected and vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and related conditions in Chicago.
This year, TPAN is delighted to bring back Dining Out For Life to Chicago on April 25, 2019. A unique fundraising event, Dining Out For Life takes place in over 50 cities to raise money exclusively for local HIV/AIDS service organizations. TPAN is excited about being the only organization presenting Dining Out For Life in Chicago. Participating restaurants will donate a portion of your meal’s cost directly to TPAN in support our wide range of programs. We expect to have at least 75 participating restaurants and up to 30 local businesses as event sponsors.
All TPAN services are completely free to our clients—no one is ever turned away. Last year TPAN helped more than 750 people just at our Edgewater Location and reached thousands through our outreach work in underserved communities and will continue to grow with a new medical partnership with Howard Brown Health.
So on April 25, just by Dining Out Chicago, you can help TPAN continue to provide our life saving programs and services.
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.
In 2018, more than 50 local HIV service organizations partner with 3,000 participating restaurants, 3,000 volunteers, and 300,000+ diners to raise an astonishing $4.1 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.
