Dining Out For Life is Back!
Dining Out For Life (DOFL) is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors, diners, and restaurants.
Restaurants commit to donating a minimum of 25% of a diner’s bill in support of our programs and services at LGBT Life Center. DOFL 2022 will be our first year back post-Covid, and we can’t wait to see you again!
