The final straight, Donation cut off dates and the Dry July Hall of Fame...

g'day all,

It has been a quiet couple of weeks for the Dry July Team as we hide ourselves away and try to resist the temptation of the dreaded booze monster.

Only 10 more days to go!!!

We thought you might like to know a few housekeeping things to bear in mind as we near the end of July.

Online donations will continue until the 15th August so ensure you rally your troops to give their donations before this date.

If you have been collecting cash donations, please ensure you send a cheque for the total amount along with your Dry July Cash Sponorship form before the end of August 2008 to the following address:

The Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation Ltd,
Locked Bag 3,
Maroubra NSW 2035

If you are one of the amazing people who have managed to get into the Top 10 DJ list, the person with the highest donation total at 5pm on Friday 1st August, 2008 will claim the Number 1 DJ spot of 2008 and be entered into the Dry July Hall Of Fame!

Keep up the good work everybody and we hope you are all reaping the benefits of staying Dry this July!

Good luck and thank you for your fundraising achievements!

Cheers,
The Dry July Team.

What a week!!

What a week!!! …Where do we start??…how about Tuesday :)

First and foremost … WOW, Thank you!!

What started as an idea amongst mates to lay off the booze and raise some money for a great cause close to our hearts has gained such momentum and support that nearly 1000 individuals are now taking on the challenge and to date we have raised over $85,000!!

Thanks to the support and involvement of Adam Spencer at ABC radio, hearing Dry July being talked about on Triple J radio now means that Dry July has been taken to a whole new level! Not to mention the media interest Dry July has achieved through web forums, news websites, local and national papers, radio and magazines. Thank you again to all getting involved, signing-up, donating and supporting Dry July and the Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation, Dreams2Live4 Charity.

Well this is the first official ‘Dry’ weekend of July! For those who have Golden Tickets… we envy you! …for those who don’t… we admire you! For us, the enormity of this challenge is sinking in so good luck to all and remember, like The Doctor from Triple J says…No bender till Splendour :)

Cheers,
The Dry July Team
