On Wednesday, April 16, you'll have the opportunity to dine out while supporting others. Dine Out For Safety is a fundraiser for the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault (SACASA). By simply dining out at one of the many participating restaurants (on Wednesday, April 16), a portion of the proceeds will be donated to support survivors of sexual violence at SACASA. This year, more than 20 local businesses are participating in the day of giving and support. Check out the list below, and for more information and hours of operation, head over to sacasa.org.
