It has been proven time and time again that the Dining Out For Life restaurants that have volunteer ambassadors raise the most money. Invite your friends and family to dine at your restaurant the night of the event, welcome patrons and explain the event to them, answer questions about Lifelong AIDS Alliance, and distribute raffle envelopes. At the end of the night, return the donation box to Lifelong AIDS Alliance and go home exhausted, but satisfied that you had a good time and helped a great cause!

Volunteers must be able to stand for 4-6 hours, be knowledgeable about Lifelong’s mission and services and be comfortable approaching patrons in a restaurant environment.
