The Rules – how the Go Dry challenge works

The rules of the Go Dry challenge are simple! Sign up and stop drinking for the first month of the year.

We also ask that you reach out to family and friends during the month and ask them to sponsor you for taking part. The money you raise will help improve the lives of people affected by cancer.

Why take part?

The funds raised through the Go Dry challenge will help Canadians living with cancer by helping the Canadian Cancer Society fund groundbreaking research and provide a compassionate national support system for anyone affected by cancer – like the free Cancer Information Service Helpline, which helps people across the country answer questions on all types of cancer, treatments, side effects and much more.

Having a month off alcohol has great health benefits, such as sleeping better and having more energy. So you're not only helping others, you're helping yourself. It's a win-win!

Golden Tickets

If you have a special occasion in January, you can always buy a Golden Ticket.

A Golden Ticket gives a Go Dry participant a night off their challenge. For a minimum $25 donation, even a night off can still make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.
