The UW Madison Axe Undie Run

Library Mall

Although it is going to be an amazing time for fun and celebration for the end of the semester, it is most importantly an event to support Madison charities. First, students will arrive in clothes they wish to donate, and when the race begins they will take off those clothes leaving them at the start line to be collected by Axe reps. for donation to the Community Action Coalition of Southcentral Wisconsin. Second, Axe will be donating $5000 to a Madison charity, which I think will be Porthclight. In addition to the charity donations, students who attend the run will receive wristbands for drink specials at the after party along with tons of free clothing from Axe.
