    Dining Out For Life® Jacksonville is celebrating 20 years of supporting the Northeast Florida AIDS Network (NFAN) and the Northeast Florida HIV community. Thanks to the generosity of our restaurant partners, this annual fundraiser, which takes place on the last Thursday in April, helps raise funds locally for the NFAN Mary H. Lewis Food Pantry. This year's celebration will be held on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

    BE A RESTAURANT PARTNER BECAUSE: It's good for business. This popular event will bring business and new customers. Diners are likelier to order appetizers, drinks, and desserts when they know it's for a good cause! If you choose to include alcohol in addition to food sales, we'll add a drink icon next to your name on the website and event print materials to drive additional customers.

    IT'S EASY! We'll provide all the tools you need to be successful, including:

    • Promotional posters, table tents, cocktail napkins, pens, social media graphics, and more.
    • An optional training for wait staff and managers to learn how to maximize their participation in the event.
    • The opportunity to have a Dining Out For Life Jacksonville Ambassador (volunteer) who will invite family, friends, and co-workers to your establishment and represent Northeast Florida AIDS Network (NFAN) on-site during your event.
