On Saturday, May 1st individuals and groups will come together once again to host a dinner in support of Lowcountry AIDS Services(LAS) for the 18th annual Dining with Friends. For this massive fundraising effort, hundreds of people will join forces to host dinner parties in their homes, churches or workplace to raise money and of course have a good time dining with friends. At the end of the evening, all dinner parties unite for a Champagne and dessert finale at the Charleston Maritime Center beginning at 9pm. Guests will enjoy delicious treats from various bakeries and restaurants and music provided by jazz and blues singer Ann Caldwell. This event is free to hosts and guests. For more information, please contact 843-747-2273.

"With the recent drastic state budget cuts to HIV/AIDS funding, we are really relying on the support of the community to dig deep and joining us in raising much needed funds," says Bradley Chilids, Lowcountry AIDS Services, Executive Director.

LAS helps HIV+ individuals with counseling services, doctor appointments, access to medications, housing, legal assistance, etc.
