This is our moment. This is our future. This is Dreamscape.
For one magical evening, the Country Music Hall of Fame will be transformed into a luminous, surreal world all its own. Dreamers, visionaries, allies and influencers will gather for the culmination of Nashville CARES’ 40th anniversary year — an extraordinary spectacle to help chart the future for diverse communities across Nashville, Memphis and beyond.
The dazzling journey begins with a red-carpet arrival and winds through an exclusive cocktail reception, a seated dinner, and top-tier live entertainment — with plenty of memorable “wow” moments along the way. Food. Entertainment. Compassion. Connections old and new.
And this is magic with a purpose. For 40 years, Nashville CARES has led the fight to eliminate HIV through prevention, education, treatment, support and advocacy. Every ticket, every table and every gift helps us close our milestone year strong and carry that momentum into the next 40.
Welcome to Dreamscape, the Nashville CARES 40th anniversary gala. Presented by NPS Pharmacy.

Dining Out For Life® Nashville has become a community-driven tradition in Tennessee for an amazing 25 years. DOFL brings together local restaurants, corporate sponsors, volunteer host ambassadors and the community at large in support of our mission to end HIV in Tennessee for good.
The basic idea is simple: area restaurants agree to donate 25-100% of a single day’s sales from breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. In return, we promote them before, during and after.
Last year’s DOFL events generated over $4.5M across 25 cities in the U.S. and Canada. The Nashville event delivered over 19 million impressions, attracting thousands of diners while raising visibility for CARES and our partner restaurants alike.
In 2026, Nashville CARES was on the ground at Pride celebrations across Middle Tennessee and Memphis, connecting with thousands of community members at some of the region's largest LGBTQIA+ events.
Our teams provided HIV education, free HIV testing resources and direct connection to prevention and care services. As always, this is all about meeting people where they are and building trust in the communities we serve.
WHEN: June 2027: TBD

For CARES partners, the AIDS Walk offers high-visibility brand recognition alongside one of Nashville's most trusted nonprofit organizations.
