9th Annual Fastathon

19000 Hubbard Drive,Dearborn MI 48126

10 March, 2022

Description

MSA's annual inclusive dinner which encourages people of all faith backgrounds to remember to help the less fortunate What is Fast-a-thon? The concept of the Fast-a-thon comes from decades of MSA tradition. The Muslim Students Association (MSA) is a student-run organization on campus dedicated to bridging the gap between the Muslim and non-Muslim population on the University of Michigan - Dearborn campus and in the community. This event is an example of uniting all types of individuals for a philanthropic cause. The reward that comes from the Fast-a-Thon is two-fold. Not only have you sacrificed for the sake of those less fortunate, but you will also be gaining a sense of self-fulfillment by fasting. Because the Islamic concept of fasting requires refraining from consuming food and drink from sunrise to sunset, the MSA has adopted this notion for the Fast-a-thon cause. The Impact Not only will you be taking part in one of the biggest events on the UM-Dearborn campus, but you will be directly making an impact on fighting hunger. Last year, the MSA was able to raise over $7000 for charity!
