Thank you to ALL the participants of #nakedespy, held on Saturday, November 5 – espy experience’s prostate cancer fundraiser was a HUGE success! Everyone made it through the cold and made it out looking AMAZING in their brand new espy clothes after making very generous donations to the Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre. Together we have raised over $9000 – with more donations still to come! We know we can hit our $10 000 goal!
Special thanks to our SPONSORS for #nakedespy 2011 – Fidelity, Mavi, 7 Diamonds, Scott James, GSUS, and Bjorn Borg! There are 100 Calgary men out there with new, fabulous clothes! Single ladies look out!
We know the guys in line are grateful to MELROSE for showing up early, handing out breakfast, and keeping the energy high all morning!
Thanks to the Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre for being here with the Man Van! We already can’t wait until next year!
Thanks to Starbucks for donating coffee for the guys in line! We know it was cold but that coffee helped as much as it could.
It was so awesome to have Brett Wilson and the Calgary Stampeders involved this year! Thanks Brett for coming for the second year in a row! We always love seeing you! Thanks Karl, Daren, TA, Eric, and Marc – you guys were awesome.
Crossfit Ramsay – the guys are sore today! Thanks for the FLASH MOB WORKOUT to get the blood flowing. 100 guys working out in their underwear?! Ya that was fun!
BIGGEST thanks to all the guys in line. You were so much fun, so high energy, and so generous with your donations! We can’t wait to style you up again for #nakedespy 2012!
Check our website all week for more photos, footage, and #nakedespy fun you might be in! It was a great event and a great cause!
#nakedespy is a prostate cancer fundraiser with all donations going to the Calgary Prostate Cancer Center. This is the second year espy is holding the fundraiser and we hope to double what we raised last year by increasing the number of participants and upping the amount of clothes we can give away. Basically, we all know that whether we have been touched by cancer ourselves or have someone in our life affected by it, it’s an issue we will all continue to deal with until we have raised enough funds for research and enough awareness for early detection. #nakedespy is one of a million fundraisers for cancer out there – what makes this event special is that espy is a small, independent business thriving in a not-so-great economy, and super excited to give back in a cheeky way. So here’s deal guys – be one of the first 100 guys to line up in your underwear, make a donation to the CPCC, and get clothes for FREE thanks to our sponsors Fidelity, Mavi, 7 Diamonds, scott james, GSUS, and Bjorn Borg.

Despite a chilly morning of -1, #naked espy was an amazing success! Thank you to all that came out and supported The Prostate Cancer Centre of Calgary. We raised over $3500 in about 2 hours and the Prostate Cancer Centre is thrilled! Brett Wilson came out to support in his boxers and the espy girls can’t be more excited with how the event turned out.
We will be posting photos over the next few days but there are some great pic’s here:
Melrose on the Red Mile will be here in their van from 9am handing out breakfast, coffee, and hot chocolate to all of our #nakedespy participants.
It should be 13 degrees at least BUT a cup of coffee will be appreciated we are sure! Thanks Melrose for getting involved and supporting The Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre
