Philadelphia, PA – – Dining Out For Life® hosted by Subaru of America is an annual dining fundraising event raising money for community-based organizations serving people living with or impacted by H.I.V.
The concept is simple: Restaurants donate a generous percentage of their sales to a local H.I.V. service organization, and Dining Out For Life helps to fill participating restaurants with diners. Find a restaurant from the list of participating locations and on that city’s event date, Dine Out to help end H.I.V.!
In 2019, nearly 60 local H.I.V. service organizations will partner with 3,000 participating restaurants, thousands of volunteers, and an expected 300,000+ diners to raise over $4 million for people living with H.I.V. in the United States and Canada.
All funds raised through a city’s Dining Out For Life event stay in that area to provide H.I.V. care, prevention, education, testing, counseling and other essential services to people living with, or impacted by H.I.V./AIDS.
Volunteer celebrity spokespeople include Ted Allen, author and host of Food Network’s Chopped, actor/activist Pam Grier (Foxy Brown, Jackie Brown), H.I.V.-positive designer Mondo Guerra, winner of Project Runway All-Stars and host of the new streaming series Runway Remake.
“The wonderful thing about Dining Out for Life is you can sit down and have a meal with someone interesting, someone you love, maybe someone you haven't seen in a while. And, it's an opportunity to have a conversation. The fight against this disease begins with real, honest conversation,” says Mondo Guerra.

About Dining Out For Life
Dining Out For Life began in Philadelphia in 1991 and has since grown into an international event held across North America and raising an average $4 million annually. The idea behind the single-day event is simple and effective: Dine Out, End H.I.V. Each restaurant donates a percentage of the day’s food sales, which goes to local organizations to fund care, prevention, education, testing, counseling and other essential H.I.V. services.
