bar aids
AIDSCare is proud to announce the 6th Annual Bar AIDS in Chicago on Thursday, August 27, 2009! Joined with six cities in the United States, Bar AIDS is an up and coming, innovative, and successful HIV/AIDS benefit. Last year Chicago raised over $30,000 to benefit AIDSCare and helped raise HIV/AIDS awareness throughout Chicagoland.
The way it works? Participating Bars will donate a portion of their evening’s proceeds to a local HIV/AIDS non-profit. In exchange for participation, the recipient agency will promote the Bars during the months leading up to the event via print, web and electronic communications. All proceeds from the Chicago fundraiser directly benefit AIDSCare. A list of participating cities across the country will be updated soon.
In addition to marketing the event, agencies also assign Volunteer Ambassadors to invite friends and family out to their Bar, increasing patron sales. The Ambassador's responsibility is to promote their Bar and to sell Raffle Tickets as an additional fundraiser for the agency.

past events
Thank you to everyone who dined out on April 30th for the 16th Annual Dining Out for Life in Chicago! Dining Out for Life is the single largest HIV/AIDS benefit in the country. Chicagoland restaurants, volunteers, and diners celebrated good food, good friends and a good cause.
Individual contributions from the event raised $30,000 for AIDSCare programs and services.
Your support and contributions enable us to continue to bridge sickness to health, homeless to permanent housing, and poverty to self sufficiency to individuals and families overcoming life challenging conditions, such as HIV/AIDS.
Thank you also to Outworld News Report for their amazing video coverage of Dining Out for Life in Chicago!
