VCU Students 'Nearly Naked' For Charity

By Junelynn Tran

RICHMOND, Va. -- "Be bold and feel the cold." That's what 50 students did in the beginning of March as the VCU student organization Students Today Alumni Tomorrow hosted its first Nearly Naked Mile to show what it's like to be coatless during the winter.

Students and volunteers ran laps around the Cary Street Fields and donated a variety of winter clothing, such as coats, sweaters and socks. All donations were given to the charity HillTop Promises, who help those in need.

The organization got the idea from Morehead University and decided to bring it to VCU for fun community service.
