“Your firm’s impact on our inaugural “Dining Out for Life” cannot be over-stated. All the restaurants (and the national DOFL office, too) loved the HIV education campaign on Twitter (and their promotion in same), and the donors and community friends loved the mini-site. Both created incredible buzz that resulted in a very successful event. For example, it helped us score a grant from the MAC AIDS Fund. Now local MAC leadership started that ball rolling on that grant, and they made sure their staff did the volunteer hours to create a large grant for us, but I also know from speaking with the program officer there in NYC that the Twitter campaign “put FAP on the map” with MAC AIDS Fund—something we’ve needed for a while now. As a result, FAP will receive a $15,000 grant from MAC with $10K as DOFL income. With that gift and a gift we landed from AIDS Healthcare Foundation, event day began with $15,000 in the bank, reducing my blood pressure considerably!! We rec’d over $2,500 in gifts just before or on event day from diners at our restaurants. So, once the restaurants starting sending their contributions, I’m hoping the event will gross in the neighborhood of $23,000, which is amazing. That might make FAP one of the most successful “first time” DOFL licensees this year – a great place to be with the DOFL national folks.”
