Where Are You Dining Out For Life?

In the United States more than 1 million people were estimated to be living with an HIV infection in 2006 by the Centers for Disease Control.

You can help in the fight against HIV/AIDS by stopping by a local business in Gulfport for breakfast, lunch or dinner . . . or all three on Thursday April 28, 2011. At least 16 restaurants in the city are participating in the Dining Out For Life fundraiser by donating at least 25% of the cost or your meal to the fight against HIV/AIDS.

So, where should you wine and dine or order in? Participating restaurants will have signs in front of their businesses. But, you can plan ahead with this list. Keep in mind, some venues may fill up fast, so many a reservation if you can!
