Yaletown real estate owners are familiar with the annual Dining Out For Life event, but if you’re new to the neighbourhood, tonight is the night to check it out!
Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. In exchange for their financial support, restaurants are listed in a city wide marketing campaign in an effort to increase customer traffic.
In 1991, Dining Out For Life® was created by an ActionAIDS volunteer in Philadelphia. Dining Out is now produced in 60 cities throughout the United States and Canada.
More than 3,000 restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds from this one special day of dining to the licensed AIDS service agency in their city. More than $3 million dollars a year is raised to support the missions of 60 outstanding HIV/AIDS service organizations throughout North America. With the exception of the annual licensing fee of $1,150, all money raised in these cities stays locally.
Here’s a list of participating restaurants:
Brix Restaurant & Wine Bar
Cento Notti
Chinois
Glowbal Grill Steaks & Satay
Hamilton Street Grill
Hurricane Grill
Provence Marinaside
Rodney’s Oyster House
Section (3)
Society Dining Lounge
Urban Thai Bistro
Yaletown Brewing Co.
Dining Out For Life is only on March 29th, 2012 – so get out there and enjoy!
