Dining Out For Life 2019 is Thursday, April 25

Dining Out for Life invites you to join your friends, family, and co-workers on Thursday, April 25 for Dining Out For Life 2019, a benefit to support the mission of the Western North Carolina AIDS Project.

This year, more than ever, Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP) needs its allies in the community to be involved in Dining Out For Life (DOFL). On Thursday, April 25, participating restaurants will donate 20% of their gross sales to WNCAP.

Thousands of people in WNC are living with HIV, and many of them do not know their status. WNCAP helps our local community access HIV prevention tools, including PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) a daily pill to help prevent HIV. WNCAP also helps people living with HIV engage with medical care so that their viral load can become undetectable, creating effectively zero risk of transmitting HIV sexually. Resources generated by Dining Out For Life help people survive and thrive in a world where there remains ample stigma surrounding HIV.

You can do your part by simply dining out for breakfast, lunch, or dinner — or even all three. We encourage you to visit the DOFL restaurants all year round and thank them for their kind support.

In 2018, thanks to the generosity of restaurants, diners, and volunteer Ambassadors, DOFL was honored with a “Best Of WNC” award by Mountain Xpress for Best Local Fundraising Event. Asheville also ranked in the top 10 DOFL cities in 2018 – outranking New York and Chicago! That is truly a testament to the community spirit (and love of fine local cuisine) that distinguishes our beautiful home.
