We are proud to announce we have posted our official event page which features all of the event details as well as RSVP information. The headlining entertainment will be Arizona Pro DJs featuring two DJs (Will & Hazardous), two percussionists (Stefan & Eli) and Arizona’s best dance troupe, Foot Klan.

The end is near; so let’s get naked (almost) and run around campus – for charity.

That, pretty much in a nutshell, is the concept behind the upcoming Undie Run on Arizona State University’s Tempe campus. The event – the first of its kind in Arizona – will be held at 11:55 p.m. on Tuesday, April 29. It begins in Parking Structure 5.

Rubin Green, an ASU biochemistry sophomore and the sole student coordinator of the Run, said attendees should wear clothing they intend to donate. When the run is about to start, participants will strip down to their knickers, make a mountain of clothing, and then jog across campus, half-naked.

The clothes will be donated to the Valley Christian Center, a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping members of the community by providing assistance to individuals, families, children and the elderly. The VCC has been in existence for almost 90 years

It is located in central Phoenix and is more than just a clothing donation drop off. They have a library, kitchen, cafeteria, basketball court and computer room.

Ledale Miles, a program manager at the VCC for 18 years said that the VCC serves everyone, not just residents of Phoenix.

“Anyone who walks in the door and says ‘I need …,’ that’s our community,” Miles said.

The VCC was chosen for one main reason, Green said.

“They seemed like the only legitimate organization that would actually donate the clothes,” Green said.

Miles said that the VCC doesn’t sell any of the donations they receive.

“We actually try to clothe the homeless,” Miles said. “The clothing is actually going to be given away. It will all be given for a good cause and will get a lot of use.”

The VCC also helps with personal hygiene, jobs, rental referrals and food boxes as well as clothing. They also have a program for senior citizens and a summer camp for the younger crowd.

Green said the inspiration for the came from a friend who had already done one successfully.

“One of my friends started one in San Diego,” said Green. “I was there, and saw how fun it was. Then, I heard about ones in Colorado Texas, and Santa Barbara. It spread fast.”

There will be sponsors at the event including Red Bull energy drink and Axe body spray, and also live music by local rock bands Friday Night Gun Fight, Gooder and power pop band RingLeader.
