Thursday (8/26) marks the Philadelphia debut of Bar AIDS, similar to Dining Out for Life in that a dozen coffeehouses and bars will donate a portion of the day's proceeds to ActionAIDS, the AIDS Law Project of Pennsylvania, Mazzoni Center and Philadelphia FIGHT.

Bar AIDS started five years ago in Chicago. Organizers point out that Pennsylvania ranks sixth in the nation in the number of people reported to be infected with the disease. As recently as 2008, new HIV infections in Philadelphia were occurring at a rate more than five times the national average – more per capita than New York City.
