66th OA Birthday Party Fellowship Fund
66th OABirthday Party Fellowship Fund
The Fellowship Fund helps OA members attend the OA Birthday Party who may not otherwise have the means to do so. Scholarships are offered in the spirit of carrying the message — to ensure that all who wish to attend have the opportunity to experience the strength and hope of OA recovery.
While the only requirement for OA membership is a desire to stop eating compulsively, and no one is turned away for lack of funds, your contribution helps support scholarships and sustains our intergroup’s ability to continue carrying the message through this event and beyond.
Scholarships are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis as funds allow.
Thank you for helping extend the hand of OA to the fellow who still suffers.
