INSPIRED AND INITIATED BY MSA UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE - KNOXVILLE
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate
Alhamdulillah, MSA National is pleased to announce and encourage all MSA’s
to take part in the Ramadan Fast-a-thon!
Based on the success of our brothers and sisters at MSA Knoxville, the
program, insha’Allah, will be a wonderful display of Islam’s concern for
those less fortunate in our very own communities. We are striving for all
MSA’s to host their fast-a-thon on the same day, NOVEMBER 14th, though any
day in Ramadan will work.
Program Details:
Local MSA chapters encourage the non-Muslim students of their respective
universities to attempt the fast for one day. For each student that pledges
to, local business sponsors donate $1 or more to a local emergency food
provider. The goal is to encourage hundreds of students on each campus to
fast, thereby raising at least the same amount, in dollars, from each MSA.
At the conclusion of the fast, students are invited to break their fasts
together with a meal prepared by the MSA and/or the local Muslim community.

A resource packet including detailed tips, sample press releases, and much
more has been prepared to give your MSA all it needs to host its own
fast-a-thon. Be sure to check it out at www.fast-a-thon.org. Be sure to
register your MSA as a participant in this national movement.

The program was, by Allah’s Grace, an immense success in Knoxville. Do your
best to bring it to your campus!
Start planning today to ensure your participation!!
