Join in the fight against HIV/AIDS on Thursday April 28, 2011 by dining at Pacifico and 25% of your bill will be donated to AIDS Project New Haven.  Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. In 1991, Dining OutFor Life® was created by an ActionAIDS volunteer in Philadelphia. Dining Out is now produced in over 55 cities throughout the United States and Canada.

More than 3,500 restaurants donate a portion of their proceeds from this one special night of dining to the licensed agency in their city. Nearly $4 million dollars a year is raised to support the missions of agencies throughout North America. With the exception of the annual licensing fee of $1,000, all money raised in these cities stays there.

Everyone has been touched by somebody who has been affected by HIV/AIDS.  In fact, nearly 7,500 new cases of HIV infections are reported worldwide each day. In the U.S. alone, someone is infected with HIV every nine and a half minutes. A significant fundraiser since 1990, Dining Out for Life offers a meaningful way to support a worthy cause that suffers from lack of funding. On a single day, nearly $4 Million is raised in the struggle against HIV/AIDS.
