Welcome to Veg-a-thon.com!
Why train for months and run to exhaustion in a marathon or walk yourself sore in a walk-a-thon when you could raise money for a worthy cause just for eating delicious vegetarian food? A veg-a-thon is when you eat a vegetarian diet for one to eight weeks and collect pledges to the nonprofit organization of your choice for your efforts. See the Why Veg? page to learn more about the benefits of a whole foods vegetarian diet on your health, for the environment and for animals. Our Resources page provides valuable advice for shopping, cooking and eating vegetarian. When you're ready to get started, we make it easy with our three step guide to doing a veg-a-thon.
Vegetarian Resource Guide
This guide will help you figure out what to eat, what to cook, where to shop and where to eat out while doing your veg-a-thon. It lists many different vegan resources available online, including some original resources from veg-a-thon.com, like our "Guide to Making Frugal Choices".
Organizing a Group Veg-a-thon
Doing a veg-a-thon with other people can add a sense of community to participants' efforts, even when they are separated by hundreds of miles. If you are thinking about doing a veg-a-thon, you can invite others to do one with you. If you are already vegan and would like to encourage people to do a veg-a-thon, you can organize a group veg-a-thon in your area. Nonprofit organizations can also invite their members to do a veg-a-thon within a certain date range, collecting pledges for their cause. Whoever you are and whatever your reason for wanting to do a group veg-a-thon, this guide will show you how to organize one.
