#nakedespy2019 Recap

Another one in the books

It all came together in front of the store for the 7thinstallment of #nakedespy on March 30th. Onlookers were treated to 54 men stripping down and strutting their stuff around Inglewood in an effort to bring further awareness about the physical and mental health issues facing men today.

Participants spent the previous 5 weeks competing and raising funds for the Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre. For their efforts, they each received an outfit from espy valued at over $1,000. The guys did not disappoint raising a total of $53,160.85 for the CPCC, crushing their fundraising goal of $37,000.

Money raised from #nakedespy supports education, awareness, and ground-breaking research. Funds go to assist the Southern Alberta Institute of Urology in its mission to improve diagnostic techniques and treatment options, enhance patient quality of life, along with ultimately finding a cure for prostate cancer and prostate-related diseases.

The event was capped off with a ‘naked to dressed’ party inside of espy hosted by Christy and Fraser of 101.5 Today Radio. Participants and guests alike were treated to burlesque performances by Cirque de la Nuit along with pizza and beer from premier sponsor Trolley 5.
