The 28th Annual Dining Out For Life South Sound (DOFLSPS) is moving to Tuesday, July 26th. Traditionally, DOFLSPS falls on the last Thursday of April along with cities across the US and Canada. The decision to move this year’s event was made with safety in mind — patterns of COVID outbreaks have tended to improve over the summer and the warmer weather provides more opportunities for outdoor dining.
We also wanted to join our sister organizations the Rainbow Center and Oasis Youth Center in celebrating the LGBTQI+ community with Pride. Around the country, hateful policy and sentiment against gay and trans people is being pushed to try and sow division and fear. Supporting Dining Out for Life with Pride is a powerful statement of allyship that won’t go unnoticed.
Dining Out for Life® is instrumental in PCAF’s mission of ending the HIV epidemic in the Sound Sound.
We’re looking for fun, outgoing, and food-loving volunteers to help promote our Restaurant Partners at this year’s Dining Out for Life®. Contact Wilmer at wgalindo@pcaf-wa.org
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.
