The Rules
Learn how Dry Feb® works
The rules of Dry Feb® are simple!
Sign up and stop drinking for the month of February
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 allow the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health to continue to build better mental health care where directions are clear, treatments are more effective, and every step forward forges a better path forward.
How it works
Sign up to the official Dry Feb® challenge
Go alcohol-free in Feb
Ask for donations
Raise vital funds for CAMH
Why should I go Dry?
Too many people don’t get the help they need. Because the system wasn’t built to handle the scale and complexity of mental illness. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
CAMH leads the way forward as Canada’s leading mental health hospital - and the only place where care, research, education, and policy come together to transform mental health care for everyone.
Golden Tickets
We get it. Sometimes there’s a special occasion in February where you’d like to have a drink, but we don’t want this to stop you from taking part in Dry Feb® and fundraising for CAMH. So that’s where a Golden Ticket comes in.
The Golden Ticket entitles you to a night off from your Dry Feb® challenge. You can buy one for yourself or sweet-talk a friend into getting you one for a minimum $25 donation. Just make sure to get back into the challenge the next day!
Dry Feb® is a fundraising campaign that challenges people who drink alcohol socially to change their patterns for a month and make some healthy lifestyle changes. We encourage people to stick to the government recommendations for the rest of the year. We advise people who drink 5 or more drinks a day or people who are dependent on alcohol to speak with their healthcare provider before signing up for the official Dry Feb® challenge.
