Dining Out For Life

I had a the great fortune to donate my services to Chicago’s Edge Alliance, which is involved in a wide range of initiatives that respond to the needs of the homeless, people living with HIV/AIDS, the disabled, and veterans. The ad campaign we developed is being used to promote Dining Out For Life, which is an annual fundraising event in North America involving more than 3,500 restaurants who donate a portion of their proceeds from one night of dining to an AIDS charity in their city. Nearly US$4 million a year is raised to support the missions of agencies throughout the United States and Canada.

Please visit the Dining Out website to find an event in a City near you. Most fundraisers occur at the end of April.
