This annual event in Sonoma County involves participating restaurants donating a portion of their proceeds from a specified date to a local organization that provides services and support to individuals living with HIV/AIDS. Patrons dine at these establishments on that particular day, knowing that their meal contributes directly to a vital cause.
The initiative offers a significant fundraising opportunity for the benefiting organization, enabling them to continue offering critical programs such as medical care, housing assistance, and educational outreach. Furthermore, it raises awareness about HIV/AIDS within the community and promotes solidarity and support for those affected. The concept originated in Philadelphia in the early 1990s and has since expanded to numerous cities and regions across North America.
