Arizona State Undie Run: ASU Students Strip, Donate Clothing, Food To Charity

Asu Undie Run

On the last day of classes, most college students are about ready to let their hair down.

But at Arizona State University, more than 15,000 co-eds let down a lot more than their tresses when school came to a close. They took off all of their clothing -- down to their underwear -- for charity, for the fifth annual ASU Undie Run.

The generous, skin-bearing students gathered in a parking lot on Tuesday evening and were each required to give away the clothing off their backs and two cans of food.

"No donation = no entry," the event’s website explicitly states.

On the last day of classes at Arizona State University, thousands of generous students participated in the annual "Undie Run" event. They stripped off -- and donated -- the clothes on their backs and gave away at least two cans of food. "No donation = no entry," the event's website announced.

After removing their garb, participants ran 500 feet (it used to be a mile), MyFoxPhoenix.com reports and sent off their donations to five local noteworthy charities.

“Not only can students maximize their fun by conjugating together in their underwear (and what’s more fun than that?)," the organizers write on the event’s website, “but they can also fill themselves with a sense of satisfaction when they give back to the community.”

In total, the ASU Undie Run collected more than 5,000 pounds of clothes and 3,000 pounds of food, the National Post reports, which was doled out to a number of organizations, including Arizona Helping Hands and Move for Hunger.

“It's become a huge established ASU tradition,” Kayla Frost, event organizer, told MyFoxPhoenix.com, “and also five local Arizona charities depend on us for donations at a time where they really need it.”

College gives youthful libidos every and any excuse to remove their clothing.

You're looking at the furture, do not be shocked cause what they are doing in the open we had to do behind closed doors.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, and disgusted that the healthy and athletic young men and women of our universities would do such things. So shocked and disgusted that I enlarged the pix and looked at them several times...seriously, we had panty raids and streaking in the 70's, and now we got mortgages, work deadlines, yard work, high cholesterol, and many more pounds on the waistline than these kids. Enjoy it while you can, have a blast, and raise a little for a good cause.

Fun?

My goodness, the people who are against this take life way too seriously. As said before by a few commentators, you see as much skin on the beach, yet absolutely no one complains about that. For some reason, whenever a group of people get half naked outside of the beach setting, some people lose their minds. Stop being closed minded.

Never let your education get in the way of your learning.

Isn't this is a sin? Where's Mitt and his Mormon Moralists? He could blame this on the Obamas and make it a campaign issue. And then change his mind.

If Republic legislators want to try to pass laws, I believe in Arizona, that milking the mine shaft is akin to murder, or a women should be considered pregnant three days after her last period, until the next period. Than taking off your pants and shirts should be considered sex and all women at that event should be probed by one of those pregnancy paddles. See this Arizona, young people doing something that could lead to sex, atrocious!

Gee you would have figured it would have been UCLA or USC with Hugh Hefner presiding as master of ceremony's on Playboy TV.

I wish more Universities would adapt this worthy cause for their campuses...students today are so much open minded about charitable giving.

They should have donated their undies too.
