Big Hearts with Nashville Cares

For 22 years, Nashville’s big-hearted restaurant community has been investing time, energy and lots of money to end the HIV epidemic in Middle Tennessee. Through the annual Dining Out for Life fundraiser, participating restaurants donate a portion of a day’s proceeds to Nashville CARES, a nonprofit that serves more than 50,000 people statewide with education, free and confidential HIV testing, and a broad range of comprehensive services to individuals who are at risk for or living with HIV. Since the event’s inception restaurants have contributed $1.8 million to Nashville CARES.
