“Running around campus with no clothes on for a good cause? Who wouldn’t want to join?”

Are there any grown-ups at NC State willing to tell these students this is really classless? Apparently not.

“This [race] is something I wouldn’t have expected N.C. State to be involved with,” said Ly, who is majoring in design studies. “Running around campus with no clothes on for a good cause? Who wouldn’t want to join?”

The first Nearly Naked Run for charity will take place Thursday at 9 p.m. in the Brickyard. NCSU racers will join other students who will also participate in the event at their respective universities.

Students will strip down to their underwear, or until they are “nearly naked,” before the start of the nearly mile-long run. The clothes the students shed pre-race and any additional clothes students bring to the event will be donated to the Raleigh Rescue Mission, a local homeless shelter.

 

Sorry, but this kind of thing makes a mockery of the charity.
