The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Organization of Residence Students (ORS) is stripping down to their skivvies and running around campus for charity this weekend.

ORS is hosting the Underwear Affair 2K charity run, a two-kilometre run around campus, Saturday, Mar. 13. All of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.

"This is a way that students can have another amazing memory of doing something a little crazy, while doing it for a good cause," says John Louis Fahie, organizer of the event. "The reason I decided to do this is because cancer has touched many family members and friends of mine, as I am sure it has touched others."

Those who wish to participate will be asked to raise money through sponsorship, in addition to their $5 registration fee.

"Cancer is a very predominant ailment in our lives, and I believe if researchers can find the funding, they will be able to find a cure," says Fahie. "Raising money should not be something that is tough to do, it should be fun and the memory should last a lifetime. "This is my goal here, to make a fun, crazy memory while raising money for a much needed cause."

The run will begin at noon in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Bus Loop, in front of the Students' Union Building. Participants will run the two kilometre specified route and end up at Patterson Centre where they will enjoy a barbecue and refreshments.
