Dining Out for Life helps fight the HIV epidemic

DAP Health brought back its annual Dining Out for Life fundraiser on Thursday, where several businesses donate a portion of its sales to help fight the HIV epidemic. 

The fundraiser is usually put on every year, but because of the pandemic, it didn’t happen in the last two years.

This year 68 businesses in Coachella Valley will be donating a portion of their funds made on April 28 to DAP Health.

Each business will be donating between 33% and 110% of its sales. All customers have to do is make a purchase and the place of business will handle the rest.

You can find a list of participating local businesses on the DAP website.

In the past Palm Springs has been labeled the smallest participating market for Dining Out for Life, but in 2019 came out second in overall fundraising of those participating.

Across the country, more than 50 HIV service organizations partner with restaurants, volunteers, and other businesses to raise money to help people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States and Canada.
