“I am so happy to give back to the community in whatever way I can; watching the people come in and enjoy our food is great. I also love looking for the restaurants that are participating that I can hit for dinner! Keep up the good work and I look forward to many more years.” David Hitterman, The Frog Pond, 19 year DOFL participating restaurant
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! To find out if your city participates in Dining Out For Life, click on the interactive map on the homepage.
