Fundraising Campaign: Cupid's Undie Fun Run

Seems Sydney is all about fun and cheeky fundraising these past few months!

We’ve recently mentioned January’s No Pants Subway Ride – now it’s time to bare your undies AGAIN for February’s Cupid's Undie Run... all in the name of charity!

The annual Cupid's Undie Run is a first in Australia – in addition to the current line-up of 17 participating U.S. cities including NYC, LA, San Fran, Chicago and Washington DC.

The 1.5km run aims to raise serious money for The Children’s Tumour Foundation (currently raising $11,525 at last count). With all donations over $2 being tax deductable, you can fundraise as an individual or join a team.

The shenanigans begins at 12-4pm on Sunday, 10 February 2013 at Darling Harbour. There will also be cool cupid-themed prizes up for grabs, as well as a VIP Open Bar.

The New Mob in Town

Flashmobs.

You've all seen YouTube clips of the T-Mobile crew with hundreds of participants dancing within the crowded Liverpool Street station in London, the massive Black Eyed Peas crew which featured on Oprah... and many other flashmobs ever since.

Flashmob culture has reached cult status all over the world - but forget your typical dance routines... it seems another form of Flashmob has hit out shores: the No Pants Subway Ride.

Following on from its US predecessor (started by Improv Everywhere, New York in 2002) - it seems the annual January NPSR movement has now reached over 59 cities worldwide, with Sydney celebrating its 5th anniversary last weekend.

Over 1,400 eager participants around Sydney braved their train ride sans pants (or skirts and dresses) with their undies on full show  - much to the amusement of other commuters and our 31ST staff  :-)
