DAP Health, restaurateurs, sponsors, volunteers, and diners in Greater Palm Springs worked together to raise close to $500,000 in the last two years
Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors, and restaurants.
The concept is simple: restaurants, bars, and coffee shops donate a generous percent of their sales to DAP Health, and we fill participating locations with community members who want to support the mission of ending HIV.
Making a positive impact in your community has never been easier. On April 24, 2025: Dine Out to End HIV.
This annual fundraiser tells a powerful story about the impact of generous local restaurants and a united community.
DOFL is the annual, North America-wide gastronomic fundraising event that has not only collected more than $100 million for community-based HIV/AIDS service organizations since its inception in 1991, but perennially encourages those who may not know their HIV status to get tested so that they may be connected to the care they need to thrive.
The funds support the work DAP Health does every day to end the HIV epidemic and care for individuals living with HIV.
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.
