About Healthy High
Healthy High encourages adult participants of all ages and from all walks of life to make a committment to give up drinking alcohol for a ten day period from 18 to 28 June 2010 (incorporating Drug Action Week).Once registered, participants are encouraged to invite their employers, colleagues, friends and family to sponsor and cheer them on!
Monies received from sponsorship will be donated to DRUG ARM’s Street Outreach Service. DRUG ARM helps over 40,000 people on the streets every year - people who are homeless or have alcohol and/or drug problems.
Local celebrities, media personalities, business and sporting identities will also be invited to become involved. Stay tuned to find out exactly who is taking up the challenge!
Participants are encouraged to organise Healthy High activities throughout the week such as sporting events, quiz nights, mocktail parties, movie marathons and board game nights. If you have an idea, please head to our Facebook page to submit your activity and the most creative idea will win a fabulous prize.
