Come join UNC MSA's annual Fast-A-Thon! Fast-A-Thon is a campus-wide effort encouraging non-Muslims to experience a day of fasting.

MSA has contacted some local businesses, and for each person that fasts, those businesses will donate money to us in your name which we will pool together and donate to a local charity-- the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC.

The fast will occur on Thursday, September 25, 2008 from 5:37am to 7:11pm. NO FOOD OR DRINK can cross your throat until 7:11pm. For everyone who fasted, we extend an invitation to the Great Hall at 6:30pm on Thursday so that everyone can break their fast together with free food!

The Fast-A-Thon is being co-sponsored with the following organizations:

Sangam
Arab Student Organization
UNC-CH Students for a Democratic Society
Interfaith and Intercultural Dialogue Club
Interfaith Alliance of Carolina
UNC Baha’i Club
Millennium Village Project
S.W.E.A.T.

I, ________________ pledge to go hungry for change. I pledge to willingly and joyfully participate in UNC MSA's annual Fast-a-Thon for the benefit of those going hungry everyday. I understand that I am pledging to abstain from all food and liquid during the daylight hours (5:37 am - 7:11 pm) of Thursday, September 25th. I'm also going to try as much as possible to refrain from negative thoughts and speech. I don't have any medical conditions that would prohibit me from fasting, but in the unexpected and unlikely event that I should become ill or otherwise experience detrimental effects as a result of this fast, I will not hold MSA, or its members, or the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill responsible.

This pledge form serves as your personal invitation to the Great Hall at 6:30 pm on Thursday so that everyone can break their fast together with free food! We look forward to seeing you! If you have any questions, please email msafastathon(at)gmail.com.
