So far this fantastic initiative has raised $168,000, with Mission Australia South Australian team making the Top 10 of FebFast fundraisers by raising over $2,000 to help give young people with serious alcohol and drug problems a second chance at a healthy life.
Why not join in? If you’ve yet to register for FebFast, you can still sign up anytime in February - registrations remain open throughout the month.
Apart from doing your wallet and waistline a favour, you’ll also be helping to support Mission Australia services such as DAYS (Drug and Alcohol Youth Service) in Western Australia; our Hindmarsh Centre’s after-hours mobile youth support service in South Australia, and Youth Beat, which reaches out to young people from it's base at Chigwell House in Glenorchy, Tasmania.
The FebFast organisers have come up with another compelling reason to take a break from alcohol this month. A recent FebFast survey found that although after a few drinks 23 percent believe of drinkers believe people find them more attractive, in fact 70 percent of survey respondents do not find people who have been drinking attractive.
Register at www.febfast.com.au (or click the FebFast link on our home page). You can kick-start your fundraising by donating $25 ($10 concession) as a registration fee.
