Thursday, April 30, local diners will stand up against AIDS by sitting down at their favorite restaurant during Greater Seattle’s Dine Out For Life. 

At least nine restaurants in the greater Ballard area, and more than 150 throughout the city and suburbs, will donate 30 percent of their proceeds from that day—including breakfast, lunch, cocktails and dinner—to  Lifelong AIDS Alliance, the Northwest’s leading AIDS Service Organization.

Now in its 16th year, Dine Out For Life has become a community tradition.  The last Thursday of every April, restaurants across the region join together to raise funds to fight against AIDS. 

Proceeds help support Lifelong AIDS Alliance’s critical care services for people living with HIV, AIDS and other chronic illnesses.  These services include the Chicken Soup Brigade Food Program, housing and case management.
