NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — In the heart of the greater Nashville area, a movement is stirring that combines the simple joy of dining with the profound impact of philanthropy.

Nashville CARES will celebrate the 22nd anniversary of its annual Dining Out For Life event.

On Wednesday, March 8, restaurants will be donating 30% to 100% of sales (from food only or food and alcohol) from breakfast, lunch and/or dinner services to Nashville CARES.

That money will go towards the fight against the HIV Epidemic in Middle Tennessee.

A list of participating restaurants can be found here.

Meet Trashley! New commercial pays tribute to 1970s Tennessee anti-litter ad

You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
