What is #nakedespy?
In 2010, espy owner Megan Szanik's dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Determined to raise awareness and support others affected by cancer, Megan launched #nakedespy. Her bold idea? She announced that the first 30 guys to show up in their underwear with a donation to the Prostate Cancer Centre would get dressed by espy for free.
By the second year, men were lining up to take part in this unique event.
But #nakedespy is about more than just fashion. It's about getting guys out of their comfort zones to talk about their health in a fun and cheeky way. By literally baring it all, participants not only start conversations about men's health, but also raise money to support lifesaving research and treatments.
The event itself is a spectacle, with men parading around the neighborhood in their underwear, all in the name of a good cause. Then, after the parade, it's back to espy for their new outfits.
Since its inception, #nakedespy has grown into a major event in the community, raising over $300,000 for the Prostate Cancer Centre and becoming a highly anticipated annual fundraiser.
How it Works
- Donate to Participate: Make an initial donation to secure your spot in #nakedespy.
- Fundraise: After registering, spend about 6 weeks raising as much money as possible for the Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre. You'll be competing with other participants.
- Parade: At the end of the fundraising period, join the other participants in a parade down 9th Ave to show your support.
- Get Styled: After the parade, participants who meet the fundraising goals will be styled in outfits worth over $3,000 at espy.
- Celebrate: It's party time! The top fundraiser is crowned Mr. #nakedespy and wins a shopping spree from espy. Other prizes from our sponsors will also be awarded at the official #nakedtodressed after-party.
All proceeds and donations go directly to the Calgary Prostate Cancer Centre, supporting education, awareness, and groundbreaking research.
