Hi Tony,

I hope you’ve been well.

A huge thank you from all of us here at Dry July! Your generosity and commitment across 8 years of Dry July has been remarkable, and we’re so thankful you continue to choose to support the campaign. Thank you for all the activity on your social channels as well!

Your incredible fundraising efforts have made you the #5 fundraiser in Australia and #4 in VIC - congratulations!
