How does ARCS benefit?
Participating restaurants will donate up to 25% of the price of your meal--including all beverages--to ARCS. The more you eat and drink, the more funds we raise for ARCS! We will also have Ambassadors stationed in each restaurant to collect additional donations from diners. Ambassadors will hand out envelopes to sign you up for a raffle for fantastic prizes, too!
If you cannot join us at one of the participating restaurants on April 26th but would like to contribute, please consider making a donation on our secure Donate page.
can i volunteer to help ?
Become an Ambassador! We need volunteers to visit each restaurant to thank diners for coming, collect donation envelopes and answer questions about ARCS. Ambassadors are highly encouraged to bring a big group of friends and family to keep them company--and eat and drink, of course! We offer training and lots of support, too. Download our Ambassador flyer and sign up to help today!
We're also looking for more restaurants and corporate sponsors. This is a great way to advertise your business while showing the Hudson Valley how much you care.
How long does it last?
Dining Out for Life lasts for just one day a year--April 26th in 2012. Hours of operation and meals served will be determined by individual participating restaurants.
