'Dining Out for Life' at Cucina Paradiso

On Thursday, April 24, 2014, Cucina Paradiso will be participating in the 21st Annual 'Dining Out for Life' Dinner. The event, sponsored by CS Modern Luxury Magazine, benefits EdgeAlliance, a non-profit organization which assists its members in developing and operating quality housing and providing life enriching services to vulnerable individuals and families. 

This year will mark Cucina Paradiso's 16th year participating in the event, making them Oak Park's longest running participating restaurant in 'Dining Out for Life.'

'Dining Out for Life' is the largest HIV/AIDS fundraiser in Chicago and connects more than 9,000 diners to more than 80 restaurants to make a difference in the lives of others. Last year EdgeAlliance rose over $115,000 to continue its mission of providing housing with life services to men, women & children living with HIV/AIDS.
