Cancer Council WA is encouraging people across Western Australia to take part in Dry July 2026, asking participants to abstain from alcohol during the month to raise money for the organisation’s cancer services. The initiative, promoted in local communities including the Pilbara and the Great Southern, frames the challenge as a way to support Cancer Council WA’s work while also building public awareness around cancer prevention and support.
In the lead-up to the event, residents are urged to sign up for the challenge and to use their commitment to drinking less or not at all as a fundraising mechanism. Organisers state that funds raised through Dry July help support critical cancer information services, including a cancer information hotline.
Both reports describe Dry July as an annual campaign in which people choose to go without alcohol for the duration of July, then seek donations from friends, family, and community members. The focus is on participation in July 2026 and on raising funds to sustain Cancer Council WA’s cancer-related support and information resources.
