    BE A RESTAURANT/BAR PARTNER BECAUSE:

    It's good for business. This popular event will bring business and new customers. Customers are more likely to order appetizers, drinks, and desserts when they know it's for a good cause! If you choose to include alcohol alongside food sales, we'll add a drink icon next to your name on the website and event print materials to drive more customers.

    We make it simple! We will provide you with all the tools you need to succeed in Dining Out For Life Jacksonville on Thursday, April 16, 2026, including:

    • Promotional materials include posters, table tents, cocktail napkins, pens, social media graphics, and more.
    • Optional training for waitstaff and managers to enhance their event participation.
    • Opportunity to have a Dining Out For Life Jacksonville ambassador (volunteer) representing the Northeast Florida AIDS Network (NFAN) on-site during your event.

    It's excellent marketing! Through our partnerships with Action News Jax, Folio Weekly, Metro Diner Placemats, and local media, your brand will gain significant exposure throughout Northeast Florida across print, social media, websites, and our restaurant/bar partners.

    Supporting the community! You assist the NFAN Mary H. Lewis Food Pantry, which offers food assistance to the Northeast Florida HIV community in Duval, Clay, St. John's, and Nassau counties.

    It's fun! The community is excited to support and enjoy great food and drinks. They will also remember you and come back throughout the year!

    Let's collaborate to support those in Northeast Florida.
