TEMPE, Ariz. – On Tuesday night, tens of thousands of students stripped to their underwear to run through the Arizona State University campus.

The Undie Run takes place on the last day of class, and there are bands playing along with other entertainment.

It’s a way for students to unwind before they start cramming for finals – and it also benefits a good cause.

The students donated the clothing they took off to run to benefit charities, including: Arizona Helping Hands, STANDUP FOR KIDS, Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS), and André House.

This year, the ASU Undie Run partnered with Move for Hunger, a non-profit that helps community food banks primarily by collecting non-perishable food that people don’t want when they’re moving.

To learn more about how food banks work and the need for non-perishable food, the ASU Undie Run and Move For Hunger staff visited St. Mary’s Food Banks in Phoenix. The warehouse was huge, but with so many people in need, the food goes fast.

Don’t forget to bring food to the event along with clothes to donate! Here’s a list of acceptable food items:

• Canned and Dry• Canned Tuna• Sip-size Juices• Canned Fruits• Rice and Pasta• Soups and Stews• Bottled and• Pasta SauceVegetables• Instant Potatoes• Hot and ColdCanned Soda• Chips and Snack• Peanut Butter•Cereals• NonperishableFoodsJelly• Crackers• Ready-To-EatMilk• Bottled Water and• PopcornCanned Meals• Canned or DryJuice• Mac ‘ n’ CheeseBeans• Ketchup/Mustard• Canned Juices

The first ASU Devil Yell was heard all around campus — and in gyms and stores and offices and homes all around the Valley. The ASU Undie Run staff was able to get in on some of the screaming at the Finals Breakfast locations on ASU Tempe campus. Here are some pictures from the event:

The ASU Undie Run staff braved the cold in their undies last night at the ASU-Stanford football game. Though ASU lost the game, it was still a great time. May 3rd is coming…
