Dining Out for Life, Action Wellness’ signature event, was founded in Philadelphia by ActionAIDS in 1991 and has expanded to over 60 cities in North America.

Every year, on the last Thursday in April, participating restaurants donate 33% of each diner’s food bill to Action Wellness and other local AIDS service organizations. In Philadelphia and across the Delaware Valley, more than 200 restaurants and thousands of diners participate in the biggest dining event of the year! They truly make a difference by helping us make sure that no one faces AIDS alone, and their participation impacts thousands of men, women, and children infected with HIV and AIDS in very real ways – medical care, life-saving medications, housing, energy assistance, education and prevention.
