Dining Out For Life 2013: Dinner Makes A Difference At D.C. Restaurants April 25

Queen Force One Wants You To Dine Out

WASHINGTON -- Dining out has more meaning on April 25 if Washingtonians choose a restaurant participating in the 17th annual Dining Out for Life D.C.

More than 100 area restaurants are participating in the fundraiser, which raises money for Food & Friends, a local nonprofit caring for people living with life-threatening illnesses like HIV/AIDS and cancer. Participating restaurants donate 25 to 110 percent of profits directly to the charity.

Yes, you read that right. Freddie's Beach Bar & Restaurant in Arlington is giving 110 percent of proceeds to Food & Friends; Ristorante Tosca and Annie’s Paramount Steak House are also donating their entire night's proceeds to the organization.
