What is Ocsober?

Ocsober is a fundraising initiative that encourages people to give up alcohol for the month of October.

The money raised goes to Life Education, the organization behind the iconic educational mascot, Healthy Harold. For 30 years, the loveable giraffe has been teaching Australian children how to enjoy a healthy lifestyle by resisting participation in drug and alcohol abuse. This year, Ocsober aims to raise $1 million to help Life Education and Healthy Harold go into even more schools across Australia.

Ocsober is also an important opportunity to highlight the growing danger of binge drinking and alcohol abuse, particularly among young Australians. Participants can also enjoy other potential benefits from a month off alcohol including feeling healthier and fitter, weight loss and the chance to enjoy Sunday mornings again!

Signing up to Ocsober is an easy way to help do something about it. Luckily, for those with a special occasion during October, Leave Passes can be bought to get the night off!
