Dear Donors:

You may have recently received a promotional mailing from Subaru thanking you for participating in Dining Out for Life and offering you a promotion. We wish to assure you that at no time does ACCESS AIDS sell donor information. We honor the privacy of our clients and supporters. We are part of an international organization titled Dining Out for Life International.

Dining Out For Life is a nationally trademarked event and ACCESS AIDS has the local rights to hold Dining Out for Life in this region. Each year the event averages almost $70,000 for our clients. Fifty other cities hold Dining Out for Life– the international organization organizes national marketing dollars each year that benefit all participating agencies. The combined marketing effort, sponsored by Subaru, helps individual agencies augment marketing costs so that we more of our dollars raised can go directly to our clients. Subaru donated $250,000 to Dining Out For Life International to provide marketing opportunities to brand the event.

Each local Dining Out for Life participating agency was asked to send their donor mailing list to Dining Out for Life International. Dining Out For Life International distributed the mailing by contract, and the list was never distributed to Subaru or any other sponsor. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and want to reiterate that we do not disclose donor information. We thank you for your continued support as we grow our Dining Out For Life event. If you have any questions please email mestrada@accessaids.org.
