Eat good food at Dining Out For Life in Fairbanks and enjoy great singing at the Wizard of Oz Cast and Crew Cabaret in Anchorage to raise funds for people with HIV/AIDS in Alaska. Both events are on Thursday, April 29th.

Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at select restaurants as a benefit for Interior AIDS Association in Fairbanks. The restaurants are Lu Lu’s Bread and Bagels for breakfast, Ivory Jack’s for lunch from 11am to 5pm, Bobby’s Downtown for dinner, and Lavelle’s Bistro for dinner. Addresses and phone numbers HERE.

“Dining Out For Life: Dine Out, Fight AIDS” is an annual fundraising event where local restaurants donate a portion of proceeds to area AIDS agencies. IAA also participated in Dining Out last year. Over 55 cities in the United States and Canada are involved in DOFL this year.

Supporters of Four A’s get a special treat Thursday night: stay up late and Follow the Yellow Brick Road to a cabaret performance by the Wizard of Oz cast and crew! The show begins at 11 p.m. at Mad Myrna’s and the suggested minimum donation is $15 a person. All the proceeds will directly benefit HIV positive individuals and HIV prevention efforts in Alaska. Tickets will be sold only at the door.

This is not the first time Four A’s has convinced cast members of a Broadway show to perform a cabaret benefit while on tour in Anchorage. Last year, cast members of The Lion King sang a wonderful show called The Lion Sings Tonight, which sold out.
