2025 DINING OUT FOR LIFE WILL TAKE PLACE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 24
Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors, and restaurants.
The concept is simple: restaurants, bars, and coffee shops donate a generous percent of their sales to DAP Health, and we fill participating locations with community members who want to support the mission of ending HIV.
Making a positive impact in your community has never been easier. On April 24, 2025: Dine Out to End HIV.
This annual fundraiser tells a powerful story about the impact of generous local restaurants and a united community.
Palm Springs is the smallest participating area compared to other locations across the U.S. who participate in this national campaign, but because of local businesses commitment to DAP Health, we were second in overall fundraising in 2022. No other market can boast the level of commitment shown in Greater Palm Springs.
“Few other events bring DAP Health closer to our tap root of community action," DAP Health CEO David Brinkman says. "DAP Health was founded on unconditional love and guided by community members who defined and funded solutions to help those in need. I hope the community shares our great sense of pride in being home to the top three fundraising restaurants in North America for the third year in a row."
Dining Out For Life: A Powerful Community Partnership
Each year, thousands of people come together to dine out for good. Over 50 HIV service organizations in cities across the United States and Canada partner with 2,400+ participating restaurants, 4,100+ volunteers, and 300,000+ diners to raise millions for people living with HIV/AIDS. 100% of the funds raised in each city stay local to that area.
Greater Palm Springs has become a national leader in the Dining Out For Life movement being the second-most-successful market in the country. Thanks to the incredible support of our community, our desert eateries raised an impressive $270,000 in 2023, surpassing many larger cities — including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and other large urban centers.
Be one of the 12,000+ humanitarians who dine out for life on Thursday, April 24, 2025 in the Greater Palm Springs area. With your support, we can continue to protect and expand access to the vital services and programs that individuals living and aging with HIV/AIDS need to thrive. Join us for a meal that makes a difference.

"It is so important for individuals and businesses to give back when and how you are best able," Sparrows Lodge and Holiday House owner Jeff Brock wrote in an email to The Desert Sun about the 2019 event. "We have supported Dining Out for Life every year since we have owned the hotels. Our team loves it, our guests appreciate it, and we could not be more happy to support the work of DAP Health in serving its valley clients. It is a great event as it gets people out and helps raise awareness while enjoying a delicious meal."
