Dry July is an online social community where an individual or team can sign up to the challenge of a month long sponsored abstinence from alcohol.
The funds raised from participants' sponsorship directly benefit the lives of adults living with cancer right across Australia. See our beneficiaries for 2011
Sponsorship is raised online via participant or team profile pages. You can find your chosen participant or team by searching for them via the "Make a donation" search box on the homepage.
Dry July is about clearing your head and making a difference. Get healthy, challenge yourself, encourage positive change and a healthy attitude to alcohol consumption.
We hope you embrace the concept, take on the challenge and ensure Dry July has a positive effect on your well-being as well as the well-being of others.
