Today, the LGBT Life Center joins 60 other cities across the United States and Canada for Hampton Road’s 15th annual Dining Out for Life (DOFL) event today. Over 65 restaurants and an estimated 10,000 diners are expected to take part in the event throughout Hampton Roads! Where will you be dining?
You could make a day of it – start with breakfast at Shipwreck Sally’s in Norfolk, lunch downtown at Brick Anchor Brew House and close out the day with dinner with Queen Mary at The Grey Goose in Hampton! Whether you make a day of it or just one meal, at least 25% (and sometimes more) of your check (including cocktails) will be donated to the LGBT Life Center.
How does Dining Out For Life work?
Over 65 local participating restaurants donate 25% or more of the cost of your entire meal to the fight against HIV. There are two ways you can participate in Dining Out For Life.

2) Be sure to talk to your Dining Out For Life Ambassador!
Dining Out For Life Ambassadors are assigned to a participating restaurant, and invite all their friends and family to dine on April 26th. They act as hosts for the evening and educate their guests about the programs and services offered by the LGBT Life Center (formerly ACCESS AIDS Care.)

The LGBT Life Center is a trusted leader that empowers the LGBTQ communities and all people affected by HIV through improving health and wellness, strengthening families and communities, and providing transformative education and advocacy.
Our community is fortunate to have such a generous group of restauranteurs! In addition, the dedicated, hardworking staff at the LGBT Life Center that organize and produce this event should be recognized for their efforts.
See you out and about today and tonight!
