The Muslim Students Association (MSA), in collaboration with the Interfaith Student Council (IFSC) and its Better Together campaign, will lead the seventh annual Fast-A-Thon.
The Fast-A-Thon encourages students and faculty members to fast for a day to experience what individuals who are hungry endure on a daily basis.
The Fast-A-Thon will conclude with a dinner on Thursday, Feb. 23, at 5:30 p.m. in the Skybarn, located on Farm Acre Road on South Campus. Tickets are $2 for the dinner and are available at the Schine Box Office.
The event is made a success through monetary donations from University and community members. All proceeds from this year’s event will benefit Meals on Wheels of Syracuse.
