Dining Out For Life, Denver, April 25, 2013

Friday April 19, 2013

Join us for Dining Out for Life and be part of one of the tastiest fundraisers of the year!

Grab your family and friends and make plans to dine out at a participating restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner on Thursday, April 25. On this day, 300 Denver and Boulder-area restaurants will donate 25% of food sales to Project Angel Heart. With your help, we can provide life-sustaining meals for Coloradans who depend on us.

Since 1991, Project Angel Heart has been delivering individually modified, nutritious meals to men, women, and children coping with HIV/AIDS, cancer, kidney disease and other life-threatening illnesses. With support from many volunteers and donors, Project Angel Heart prepared and delivered more than 445,000 meals to 1,950 people in 2012.

This year, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Denver-based Forkly, a mobile food app which helps diners around the world find and share favorite dishes and drinks. Based on your likes and dislikes, Forkly will show you the best dishes at participating Dining Out for Life restaurants in the Denver/Boulder area. Download the Forkly app here (it's free!).

Thank God I'm alive. Your meals have literally saved my life! -- Client Dwayne, age 46, living with HIV/AIDS
