Dining Out For Life is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. In exchange for their financial support, restaurants are listed in a city wide marketing campaign in an effort to increase customer traffic.
In 1991 Dining Out For Life was created by an ActionAIDS volunteer in Philadelphia. In 1993, ActionAIDS made it an international event offering licenses to AIDS Service Organizations around the country. Since Dining Out For Life International’s founding, the event has grown throughout North America and is now produced in over 33 cities.
More than 2500 restaurants a year donate a portion of their proceeds from this one special night of dining to the licensed agency in their city. Over $2 million a year is raised to support the missions of agencies through North America.
