This past weekend I covered another event encouraging participants to brave the cold to support charity. "Bare on the Bricks: The nearly naked mile," collects clothing for locals in need by having students strip down, donate their clothes and run, nearly naked, down Court Street. 352 People showed up to strip down for charity and the event collected 40 bags of clothing and more than $2,000. Bare on the Bricks is another one of the events I look forward to covering while at school. Although the unseasonably warm weather cut down on the shock value of half-naked students running down Court Street, it was an exciting, quick event to photograph during the weekend.
