Studio Shakedown

By Dry July on

Dry July ambassador & SKY NEWS anchor, Jaynie Seal, got into the ‘swing’ of things and hosted a Studio Shakedown at Sydney Dance Company to raise funds for 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...

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.

As a health expert I am all about lifestyle balance and sustainability, but a month off the grog for a great cause can only be a good thing and I'm really excited to be involved."

Sign up and join Sam for a Dry July!

By Dry July on

We're so excited to have Australian Supercross champion and Motocross rider, Dan Reardon, on board as a Dry July 2016 ambassador!

“There are many reasons why this campaign means something to me... But most of all, it’s the cause; the campaign raising money for people affected by cancer is a fantastic initiative!! Everyone has been affected by this horrible disease either directly or indirectly and the more we/I can do to help, the easier we make it for people dealing with it. I'm really looking forward to supporting this amazing cause and will be working VERY hard to make sure I raise as much money as possible! Can’t wait to be involved!”

Welcome, Jaynie Seal

By Dry July on

We're very happy to welcome Jaynie Seal on board as a 2016 Dry July ambassador!

"I am absolutely honoured to be an ambassador for Dry July.

"Most of us like to have a drink – to celebrate, to relax, to have fun. While I do love a few reds, I also know that when I am in a 'non drinking' phase, I am so much more motivated, clear and present.

"Bring it on! I want to encourage as many of you as possible to take the challenge and raise money towards the wellbeing of our fellow Australians living with cancer"

Maz Compton is back as our ambassador

By Dry July on

We are so happy to have Maz Compton on board again this year as a Dry July ambassador. She’s a seasoned pro at this whole thing – she’s been booze-free for over a year now, so her Dry July is all about supporting an amazing cause she believes in .

"I am putting the SO into SOBER, because I am SO excited for Dry July this year. It's such a great initiative that grows every year and really does impact the lives of people affected by cancer. For the month of July it's a different kind of bubbles for me, the soda water variety. Cheers to that! 

I always feel clear headed, energetic and a sense of great achievement after giving up the booze to help out a cause that is really important.

Dry July is my fave month, I am yet again going to...

Fast Ed is back for 2016

By Dry July on

We're so happy to welcome Fast Ed back on board as a Dry July ambassador! Ed first heard of Dry July when his mother was in hospital being treated for breast cancer.

“One of the first things that we noticed when we went in for her chemo is just the fact there’s no facilities there. You’d turn up for truly awful chemotherapy and there’s hard plastic seats. You can’t get a cup of coffee or a cold drink. It’s a really dehumanising experience at a time when you’d expect something a little more kind.

“I think everyone assumes that someone else is paying for this already. They think – oh well, someone is dealing with this so why should I have to pay for it? ...it’s suddenly not a mystery at all why it would be so important to support Dry...
