The Muslim Students' Association (MSA) held their annual "Ramadan Fast-A-Thon" event Thursday night, September 10 in the AU Student Center. The event welcomed members throughout the Auburn community of any denomination to participate in the Ramadan experience for a day.
Those interested to become part of Ramadan Fast-A-Thon signed forms pledging to abstatin from food, drinks and negative thoughts for an entire day. For every member who participated in the event, businesses in the Auburn area agreed to donate money to the East Alabama Food Bank.
After a day of fasting, the Muslim Students' Association invited the community to join together and break fast at the Ramadan Fast-A-Thon banquet.
150 people came to the event and much to The MSA's surprise, the Fast-A-Thon raised more than $1300 which was then donated to the East Alabama Food Bank.
