Each year in the Piedmont, thousands of area residents come together for Triad Health Project’s Annual Dining for Friends fundraising event. Hundreds of hosts from around the Triad will welcome their friends for dinner/drinks/refreshments the evening of Saturday, May 17^th, 2008, in exchange for a donation to Triad Health Project, Guilford County’s leading AIDS service organization. Following dinner, hosts and their guests will gather for a 9:00 pm gala Dessert Finale at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center, indulging in delectable delights donated by local restaurants and caterers.

This unique event concept was started in 1990, envisioned by a group of concerned Guilford County residents just as the full impact of the AIDS epidemic was being felt in the area. Since that time, Dining for Friends has been duplicated by other AIDS service organizations and non-profits around the country, evolving into one of the most effective fundraising tools available in the fight against HIV/AIDS. In Guilford County alone, the event has raised more than 2 million dollars since its inception. Host invitations are created each year married to a common theme. Individuals who are not planning to host or attend an individual party are welcome to join the dessert finale by making a donation at the Coliseum.

Over the years, Dining for Friends has become synonymous with community, friends, family, and celebration of life. One of the special aspects of Dining for Friends is the diversity of people who choose to take part. It is exciting to see folks who otherwise might not cross paths come together on this special night in support of a common cause.
