Dine Out Fight AIDS Thursday, April 29th
Tuesday, April 27, 2010
Media Advisory
Thursday, April 29, 2010 - an estimated 250,000 people will dine out to fight AIDS in over fifty cities across the U.S. and Canada.
Nearly 3,000 restaurants participate in Dining Out For Life® hosted by Subaru by donating a generous percentage of proceeds from the day's meals to a local
AIDS service organization. Money raised in each city stays in that city.
Ted Allen of Food Network's "Chopped" has been spokesperson since 2008. "Dining Out For Life is a win-win-win situation. For the price of a meal,
you can help in the fight against AIDS by supporting a local HIV /AIDS organization, try a new local restaurant and feel great while enjoying a meal with friends!"
Pam Grier, Television & Film Actress joined as co-spokesperson in 2010: "There is a resurgence of HIV among youth, gay men, women and ethnic minorities
due to lack of education and the misperception that the epidemic is over and curable. Awareness and funds are declining -- but you can help. Dine out on Thursday, April 29th
for the most satisfying meal you'll have all year."
Felipé Rose, singer and Native American Indian of The World Famous Village People, is 2010 Social Ambassador.
In addition to the generous support of Subaru, Dining Out For Life benefits from partnerships with: CBS Station Groups; Dining Out Magazine; Kimpton
Restaurants and Hotels; Open Table.com; and Yelp.com.
