Cook for the Cure

Take part in Oahu Dines from the comfort of your home by hosting a party to support Life Foundation! This year, we suggest hosting your dinner, cocktail, or brunch party with friends or family on Saturday, February 14th, Valentine's Day. Use this special occasion as an opportunity to show compassion and caring for your community as you raise funds to fight AIDS in Hawaii. Ask your guests to make a contribution to Life Foundation on behalf of their significant other. (Note: You may hold your party ANY time in February; Valentine's Day is just a suggestion)

The host whose party raises the most money will receive a gift certificate for a romantic champagne dinner at an Oahu Dines restaurant of their choice on the night of Oahu Dines (March 4)!

Life Foundation will provide you with personalized Oahu Dines invitations (postage not included), red ribbons, discount coupons from our sponsors (for flowers, groceries, and wine/liqour) and will send acknowledgement letters to your guests to thank them for their contributions. The costs of hosting the party are also tax deductible for the host (i.e. food, beverage, decoration, and entertainment purchases associated with the event)

It feels good to do good! Not only do you get to show off your cooking skills, but you are also helping to save lives and change lives. The funds you raise will support Life Foundation's HIV Prevention programs and services for HIV-positive individuals.

Fun, creative alternative to traditional Valentine's Day- Looking for something fun and different to do with that special someone? Invite over a group of other couples or make it a celebration for singles.
