More than 40 Top Chicagoland Restaurants Unite for One Day to Help Raise Vital Funds for Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN) in Chicago
Dining Out For Life® (DOFL) returns to Chicago on Thursday, April 25. Founded in 1991, the annual, international event raises vital funds for HIV/AIDS service organizations. Participating restaurants donate a percentage of their daily sales to DOFL and diners contribute simply by enjoying their meal with the organization’s partners. All proceeds from this year’s Chicago event will benefit Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN) in Chicago to continue to provide FREE services to the local community.
This year’s event features more than 40 Chicagoland restaurants and counting, including Anteprima, Cherry Circle Room, Crio, Ella Elli, Farmhouse Evanston, Marchesa, Mia Francesca, Peninsula Hotel’s The Lobby, Rogers Park Social and Space 519 – which represent many of the city’s diverse neighborhoods.

Seven-year DOFL national spokesperson, the host of Chopped on The Food Network and former Chicago resident, Ted Allen says, “For me, it’s a great privilege to give my time alongside people who work full-time in this field. Dining Out For Life gets more guests into local restaurants and all of the local money stays local. It enriches the culinary community and feeds people.”
