Overview:
Each year, Wesleyan's MSA and Muslim Chaplain hold a Ramadan Banquet. This
year, it is being held on October 9th. New this year, the Interfaith Justice
League is helping to co-sponsor a Fast-A-Thon on the same day, October 9th.
Participants in the Fast-a-Thon will fast from dawn to dusk, which involves not
eating or drinking. They will have the opportunity to donate the points or meals
they would have spent that day on food/drink, to the local food pantry: Amazing
Grace. Free food will be provided at the Ramadan Banquet, which will be taking
place at the top floor of Usdan, at 5:30PM. Everyone is welcome to participate
in both events, students, faculty, and staff! The Ramadan Banquet is also open
to everyone, regardless of participation in the Fast-a-Thon!

worked out a deal so anyone who participates in the Fast-a-Thon can donate a
maximum of 15 points to a pool. When all donations are counted up, food will be
purchased from WeShop at a 15% discount and then donated to Amazing Grace, the
local food pantry.
