dining out for life
Thank you to everyone who dined out on Thursday, April 30th for the 16th Annual Dining Out for Life in Chicago! Joined with 55 cities across the United States and Canada, Dining Out for Life is the single largest HIV/AIDS benefit in the country. Celebrating good friends, good food, and a good cause, individual diner contributions helped raised $30,000 for Dining Out for Life and AIDSCare programs and services.
Your generous contributions will 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 to Outworld News Report for their amazing video coverage of Dining Out for Life in Chicago!
Once again, thank you for joining the fight!
