All day Thursday, April 28, you can raise money to help those with HIV/AIDS simply by going out to eat.
In 65 cities across the country, restaurants participating in Dining Out for Life will donate 25 percent of food proceeds to AIDS service organizations. In Tampa Bay, the beneficiary is AIDS Service Association of Pinellas (ASAP), which has been providing services to the Pinellas County HIV/AIDS community since 1987.
So it's not surprising, perhaps, that most of the 77 participating Tampa Bay restaurants are located in Pinellas. But there are several choices in South Tampa and Ybor, too.
In short, it's a great day to go out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
