In a single day, 300+ metro Denver and Boulder area restaurants and community supporters will raise an estimated $360,000 to support Project Angel Heart’s mission of delivering nutritious meals, free of charge, to adults and children coping with disease. Participating restaurants agree to donate 25% of their food sales to Project Angel Heart on Dining Out for Life day. Diners also have the option to make an additional donation, which will enter them into a drawing for a $1,000 cash prize.
Project Angel Heart hosts the largest Dining Out for Life event internationally, with more participating restaurants and more funds raised than any other market. The agency’s success is due in part to more than 23 restaurants that have supported the event for 10+ years, including Annie’s Café, The Avenue Grill, Bang!, Racines and Vesta Dipping Grill, as well as the enormous support of diners who often make additional contributions on Dining Out for Life® day. This year, 34 new restaurants, including Brio Tuscan Grill (Cherry Creek and Lone Tree), Saigon Landing (Greenwood Village), Deluxe Burger, and The Lobby Denver, join the long list of participating locations. For a complete list of participating restaurants, visit their website.
About Project Angel Heart:
Project Angel Heart delivers nutritious meals to improve quality of life, at no cost, for those coping with life-threatening illness. The agency began serving those battling disease in Denver in 1991, delivering meals to its first 12 clients from a single pan of donated lasagna. Most clients were battling HIV/AIDS and did not have the strength to leave their homes or prepare their own food. Since then, Project Angel Heart’s service has expanded exponentially. In 2009, the agency delivered 410,223 nutritious meals to 1,842 clients in Denver and Colorado Springs with the support of more than 3,000 volunteers.
Thank you to all those in the Denver or Boulder area who have made Dining Out for Life such a success in years past, and please remember to invite others to participate this year on April 29th.
