Birmingham Aids Outreach Announces:

During Passport To Dine, volunteer hosts throughout the Birmingham metro area, will have dinner parties and receptions in their homes and places of business.  Hosts may include one person, partners, or groups of friends.

The hosts decide on the date and theme of their event, as well as the ticket price.  Ticket prices for each event range from $25 to $100 per person. Hosts donate their time and all expenses, and 100% of the ticket sales benefit Birmingham AIDS Outreach.

At the end of the eight week fundraiser, all hosts and guests are invited to the Bon Voyage Party which includes entertainment, heavy hors d'oeuvres (catered by B&A Warehouse), a silent auction, and a grande prize vacation giveaway.  Individuals who have not participated in any Passport To Dine events may purchase a ticket to the Bon Voyage Party for $25.
