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.
