If you missed Dining Out for Life last year, you missed a great night. It’s an event that takes place in over 55 cities in North America on one night. Participating restaurants agree to donate a portion of their revenues, and all proceeds go to support local HIV/AIDS agencies. To see the glorious map of participating cities, or just browse for interesting information, check out the Dining Out for Life International website.

Big Announcement !!  Millennium Restaurant Group signed on the dotted line for all four of their restaurants to take part in the festivities this year. The 2009 success at Fieldstone Grill influenced this. A huge thank you goes to them for their belief in CARES and their commitment to a successful evening in April, and to our supporters who made last year such a success.

As new establishments sign up to join the fun, they’ll be listed on the official website mentioned above. Check back frequently to make plans for the big night. Look forward to seeing you there.
