MSA's 8th Annual Fast-a-Thon
Go Hungry, So Someone Else Doesn't Have To. Thursday, October 22, 2009 Time: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm Location: San Jacinto Multi-Purpose Room Every year, the Muslim Students Association at The University of Texas at Austin sponsors a charity event called Fast-A-Thon. Students, faculty, and people outside of the UT community volunteer to fast, abstain from food and drink for one day, and are brought together in the evening to break their fast and enjoy a free dinner. For each person that fasts, up to $1 is donated to Capital Area Food Bank of Texas, our beneficiary. The purpose of this event is twofold: first, Fast-A-Thon increases awareness amongst students about hunger within the Austin community in hopes of raising money to help those in need. Second, Fast-A-Thon builds bridges and narrows the divide between diverse groups of people by uniting those of different racial, social, and religious backgrounds in support of a good cause, fostering a sense of community and promoting interfaith and interracial harmony. At sunset, the MSA will host a campus-wide dinner for the pledges to come together to break their fasts and to discuss the experience. Pledge to fast online at TexasMSA.com or through this direct link: Pledge Online For more information or to sign up to volunteer, please contact the MSA Outreach Director, Lauren Jacobsen, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
