No Training Required. Just One Month, One Goal, One Way to Make a Difference.

The good news is there’s no training, no special equipment and no finish line to cross. Simply sign up for Dry July, give up alcohol for the month, and ask your family, friends and colleagues to sponsor your efforts.

Instead of shouting you a drink on your next night out, ask your community to “Donate a Drink” instead. Whether it’s $5, $10 or $50, every contribution goes directly to your fundraising page, and donors receive a tax-deductible receipt.

We’re proud to once again partner with the Dry July Foundation in 2026 to help improve the lives of brain cancer patients and their families.

Going alcohol-free for July might feel like a challenge, but every day Australians are facing something far tougher — a brain cancer diagnosis. By taking part in Dry July, you’ll be helping to provide practical support and hope to people navigating one of life’s most difficult journeys.

This year, funds raised will help us deliver MHF Patient Care Packs to brain cancer patients right across Australia. Filled with practical resources, comfort items and information, these packs remind patients and families that they are not alone, regardless of where they live.

Since partnering with Dry July in 2022, more than 3,000 Patient Care Packs have been delivered to Australians affected by brain cancer.

So, skip the drinks, sign up today, and turn a month without alcohol into a month of real impact.

Together, we can help bring comfort, connection and hope to those who need it most.

Donate today & help beat brain cancer

Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in children, and adults aged under 40 in Australia, yet alarmingly very little is known about brain cancer, its causes or how it is treated.

That’s why we need your help. Every dollar helps in the fight against brain cancer. Your donation will go towards vital research to improve patient treatments and, hopefully, find a cure one day.

All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
