Thank you to those who joined us in celebrating 25 years of Dining Out For Life on April 25, 2019! Over 65 locations across the Indianapolis area participated and donated a generous portion of their proceeds to The Damien Center. If you weren’t able to participate but would like to make a gift, please click here.
Dining Out For Life is made possible by the dozens of participating local restaurants, bars, and breweries. On April 25, 2019, all participating locations donated a generous portion of their proceeds to The Damien Center. The generosity of our restaurants, donors, and Ambassadors will help us continue to lead the effort to end HIV in Indiana.
About The Damien Center
As the largest ASO in the state of Indiana, we provide services to more than 25% of all individuals living with HIV in the state. By making our wide variety of programs and services available in-house, we utilize a one-stop-shop approach to caring for those affected by HIV and preventing its spread. We work to reduce the amount of HIV and increase the amount of healthy, immune-boosting cells in our patients’ bodies, improving the health of clients and our community.
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.
