Dining Out For LifeŽ Offers Satisfying Ways to Raise Funds for HIV/AIDS
Thursday, April 29th in Over Fifty Cities
On Thursday, April 29th, 2010, an estimated 250,000 people will dine out to fight AIDS in over fifty cities across the U.S. and Canada.
Nearly 3,000 restaurants participate in Dining Out For LifeŽ hosted by Subaru by donating a generous percentage of proceeds from the day's meals to a local AIDS service
organization. Money raised in each city stays in that city. Actress and advocate Pam Grier joined Dining Out For Life as co-spokesperson (with Food Network
host Ted Allen) to help raise support: "There is a resurgence of HIV among youth, gay men, women and ethnic minorities due to lack of education and the
misperception that the epidemic is over and curable. Awareness and funds are declining -- but you can help. Dine out on Thursday, April 29th for the
most satisfying meal you'll have all year." Here is how to participate:
