When the original Marshviper passed away in 2010, friends and family started participating in the fundraising campaign, Dry July. This year, Concur has thrown itself behind the cause. Our epic Charity Stream is almost here, and it's shaping up to be a fantastic day for guildies and friends alike! This Sunday, 22 July starting at 9.30am WST/11.30am AEST/6.30pm PDT*(server) we will go live on our channel, http://twitch.tv/concurofblackrock and stream various guild events for 12 hours straight in an effort to raise funds for our Dry July campaign. We have five members who have committed to foresaking booze for one month, and this stream is being organised to compliment their efforts and give those guild members who weren't able to kick the habit a chance to get involved and help make a difference for adult cancer patients in hospitals across Australia.
Dry July is a non-profit organisation determined to improve the lives of adults living with cancer through an online social community giving up booze for the month of July.
Whether joining as a part of a team or as an individual, DJ's (Dry.July.er [dee-jay] noun: a person or team actively sponsored to participate in Dry July) take on the 31 days of July to raise funds and directly help adults living with cancer and their families to improve their quality of life.

Throughout the stream we will be giving away various World of Warcraft Blizzard Store products such as pets and mounts, as well as a set of 4 Limited Edition Collectors Cups featuring all your favourite bad guys such as Arthas, Deathwing, Illidan and Kael'thas. For your chance to win, you've just got to donate on the day! Pretty easy, huh? :)
