DINE OUT ON APRIL 24TH AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE

More than 100 DC-Area Restaurants Donating a Significant Portion of Sales to Support Children and Adults Facing HIV/AIDS and Cancer

On Thursday, April 24th, diners across the Washington metro region will join hundreds of thousands of others from across North America to stand up against HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses by sitting down at restaurants participating in this year’s Dining Out for Life® fundraiser. More than 100 area restaurants have pledged to contribute 25% to 100% of that day’s proceeds to benefit Food & Friends’ clients living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging illnesses throughout the National Capital Region.

Where: Food & Friends is thrilled to have more than 100 restaurants on board, including those that are donating their entire evening’s proceeds to Food & Friends – Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant, Annie’s Paramount Steak House, and Ristorante Tosca.

Reservations can be made on OpenTable.com or through the restaurants directly.
