Dining Out For Life

Tags: In The Press, Event

From Dana Kopp Franklin of The Tennessean:

“Dining Out for Life, the annual event during which scores of great Nashville-area restaurants donate meal proceeds to a much-loved charity, Nashville CARES. Dining Out for Life is one of the easiest charitable events you can imagine. Just select a participating restaurant from the list (it’s wise to make reservations first) and show up for the designated meal. The restaurant then donates at least 30 percent of the proceeds to Nashville CARES, which provides education on prevention of HIV and comprehensive support services to people living with HIV across Middle Tennessee. This year’s event is Tuesday, and 57 restaurants from Nashville, Franklin and Lebanon have signed on. New participants this year include MadDonna’s, Rumours East and Marché. All participants are donating at least 30 percent of the proceeds, but some will chip in 50 percent, 75 percent or 100 percent to the cause. The overachievers at Germantown Cafe have pledged to donate 105 percent. Making the list an even 60 restaurants, the benefit includes three restaurants in Columbia — Buckhead Coffee House, La Fuenta Restaurant and Ranch House. They will give 30 percent of their proceeds to Columbia CARES, which provides services similar to Nashville CARES but in the Maury County town.
