Sam Wood is here
By Dry July on
We're so excited to have The Bachelor Australia’s Sam Wood board as a Dry July ambassador this year!
"For me Dry July is a no brainer. It is a brilliant initiative that acts as a catalyst for people to regain control of their health, challenge themselves, explore new activities and most importantly raise funds for something very close to my heart, cancer.

Sign up and join Sam for a Dry July!

Jaynie says: “We know that people find it difficult going out to the normal bars and clubs during Dry July so we wanted to provide a really fun option for people to have a great party without the need to have an alcoholic drink. Plus a portion of the ticket price directly benefits Dry July so it’s win/win.”
Jaynie was joined by Sydney Dance Company Studio Class Director, Ramon Doringo, for a fun and fast dance class event full of non-stop action. In the class, attendees followed the teacher’s lead to learn structured combinations in Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop and built...
