ASU Undie Run donates over 5000 lbs of clothes to charity. We are looking for sponsors for this event, please contact sponsorship@asuundierun.com for more info

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.

TEMPE, AZ – The final results are in and Arizona State University is the winner of the 2010 AXE Undie Run Challenge.

The competition brought guys and girls together to run in their skivvies, to help the homeless.

At each of 10 college campuses across the country, students literally took the clothes off their backs to support a local charity.

The Undie Run Challenge lasted from April 30 to June 9. The marketing firm that represents AXE, the sponsor, reported 19,340 pounds of clothing and $50,000 donated to various organizations that help the homeless.

Out of the 10 participating schools, ASU came in first place with 5,300 pounds of clothing. University of Texas at Austin came in second place with 3,200 pounds. San Diego State University was third with 2,600 pounds.

Thousands showed up for the third annual “Undie Run” at Arizona State University. The event benefits four local charities that give the clothing away to the needy.
