On Thursday, April 26, Denver does good just by dining out! Twenty-five percent of your bill will be donated to help Project Angel Heart prepare and deliver medically tailored meals to clients living with HIV/AIDS when you eat out at participating restaurants today. Delicious, right? More than 230 restaurants in Denver and Boulder are taking part in Project Angel Heart's 24th annual Dining Out For Life and six of them belong to Patrick Mangold-White - Mas Kaos, Kaos Pizzeria, Bird, Palizo, Uno Mas Taqueria. Serving up a wide variety of cuisines and dining experiences, all six of the restaurants are united in their support of Project Angel Heart and Denver’s LGBT community.
“This is the first year that all of the restaurants are taking part in Dining Out For Life,” said Patrick. “We stand behind the community, employ the community, and the community should feel exceptionally welcome in our spaces."
Dining Out for Life is an internationally licensed event hosted in 60 markets since 1991. This year, an estimated 300,000 people across North America are expected to help raise more than $4 million in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Project Angel Heart’s event in the Denver/Boulder metro area is the largest in the nation, with more participating restaurants and more funds raised than any other market. In 2017, Denver/Boulder-area restaurants, breweries, and community members helped Project Angel Heart raise more than $330,000.
“The wonderful thing about Dining Out for Life is you can do it three times a day, a different restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner,” says Dining Out For Life Ambassador – and Denver native - Mondo Guerra. “You can sit down and have a meal with someone interesting, someone you love, maybe someone you haven’t seen in a while. And, it’s an opportunity to have a conversation. The fight against this disease begins with real, honest conversation.”
