Fastathon

Every year, the Muslim Student Association holds an event called Fast-a-thon during the month of Ramadan. We invite non-Muslims and Muslims to pledge to fast with us for a day and hold a large banquet to break our fast together at the end of the day while we collect funds for a cause to help our community. Fast-a-thon was an event created at UTK 24 years ago, and has spread to numerous campuses across America. We hold this event to raise awareness about hunger and why we fast in Ramadan as well as to get closer to our friends from all different backgrounds.
