I looked over their web site, and I still don't understand one thing.

How is "not wearing underwear" on July 31 supposed to "raise awareness" or "raise funding," which are the two stated goals? ...


...Seriously, prostate cancer is something to be aware of, and a serious issue affecting all men. I'm just not quite sure how this is going to acheive that.
All kidding aside, that is a good question. There has been some thought that the common use of underwear that is too snug can be a contributing factor to the development of the disease... maybe it's just meant to raise the awareness of the issue to the men who participate.

But you're right, no one in their right mind is going to go around announcing that they're going commando that day. And I can't imagine a baseball broadcast having a celebrity on in between innings to discuss his "brief-less-ness." (Well, okay, maybe I can imagine that).

But at least it does have us talking about it.
