Dining Out for Life 2010 – A New Record! The generosity of local restaurants, residents and visitors boosted the 8th annual Dining Out For Life® to a fundraising record. The one day promotion raised more than $119,500 to support the mission of the Western North Carolina AIDS Project (WNCAP). A special thanks to all of our 100 restaurants for generously donating 20% of their sales that day, our sponsors, who allowed us to just use 6.5% of our funds towards expenses, our tireless 225 Ambassador/volunteers who helped fill the restaurants and over 8000 diners, for making this year’s total the highest amount of donation funds in our history. We couldn’t have done it without you! Accomplishing this in a very challenged economy could not have come at a more opportune time with reductions in funding from local & federal coffers and a shortfall from corporate funding , while WNCAP has just taken on 6 new counties and over 100 clients under their area of support. The WNCAP web site stays active all year long, so whenever you and your visitors need a place to dine, please remember our DOFL restaurants that support us and give back. And tell them you are there because of their kind generosity. Mark your calendars for April 28, 2011 for next year’s event and remember it’s not too early to put your name on the volunteer list by e-mailing Chris . Our Sincere thanks,
Harry
