Fast-a-thon for Amazing Grace Food Pantry–Thursday
What: Fast-a-Thon 2010
When: Thursday, September 30th, 5:45pm
Where: Beckham Hall and DFC
Do you remember last year’s Fast-a-Thon?
1200 Wesleyan students, faculty, staff, and local residents participated to raise over $16,000 for the local food pantry. This year the Fast-a-Thon is going to be BIGGER and BETTER than ever, but we need your help!
Different ways to donate points:
1. fill out a donation slip that you can find in your mailbox
2. donate at different tables set outside of Usdan marketplace, WesWings, and Summerfields
3. go to: www.wesleyan.edu/ocs/fastathon.html
The idea behind the Fast-a-thon is to donate the points/meals that you would have eaten that day towards Amazing Grace Food Pantry. It is recommended to fast just to experience what Ramadhan is like, but it is by no means required.
On the day of the event we will begin with a number of speakers to introduce the event and explain its significance. Then we will break our fast with dates and eat a delicious Indian feast from Haveli’s.
Remember to get there early to get
a t-shirt and food!
Sponsored by: IJL, MSA, SBC, ResLife, SALD, Chaplain’s office, Haveli, Bon Appetit, OCS
