Dining Out For Life is a fundraising dinner that was founded in Philadelphia by ActionAIDS in 1991 and has expanded to over 60 cities in North America. This year's event occurred on Thursday, April 25th, at an incredible number of the participating restaurants. Volunteers helped spread awareness of the fundraiser and answered questions about the organization. A third of each diner’s food bill was donated to local AIDS service organizations, and the volunteers helped raise additional contributions from individual patrons. Anyone that donated $25 or more is eligible for 20% Off Tuesdays for the rest of the year!
Two of our AYAC members participated in "Dining Out for Life." Megan Bucknum had a wonderful time South Philly Taproom, while Sophia Lee joined ActionAIDS volunteers Marian and Alaya at Route 6.
We had a great time, and we collected many additional envelopes from generous customers. Thank you to the restaurant patrons, the restaurants, and to Megan Bucknum for sending this volunteer opportunity along to the rest of the UVa AYAC members! We are making great progress for our "13 in 2013" service initiative!
