Event to
take place in 60+ cities on April 25, 2013
Mondo
Guerra, winner of
Lifetime’s Project Runway All-Stars, is the newest spokesperson for
Dining Out for Life hosted by Subaru®, an annual fundraiser for AIDS
service organizations throughout North America. Guerra has created a limited
edition t-shirt to benefit Dining Out for Life® which was debuted at a
Valentine’s Day event in Philadelphia: “I am a creature of expression through
fashion and through my advocacy work. Dining Out for Life is our opportunity to
celebrate friends, food and being truly fabulous in helping others.”
Guerra, who
disclosed his HIV-positive status on Project Runway, has become a
prominent advocate for the fight against HIV/AIDS. "I was so afraid of the
backlash and how people were going to react (about my HIV-positive status,)
because I hadn’t talked about it for ten years, but there was this outpouring of
love and support from the community at large. I really felt like it was my
responsibility to continue this conversation on HIV/AIDS and that is why I have
become an advocate for the cause."
Dining Out
for Life spokespeople include Ted Allen, host of Food Network’s
Chopped, Author and Actor Pam Grier (Foxy, Jackie
Brown) and Chef Daisy Martinez from Food Network’s ¡Viva
Daisy!
Dining
Out for Life International hosted by Subaru will be held on Thursday,
