![]() But the break-out success of the 2014 calendar still took everyone involved by surprise. The Warwick Rowers naked calendar has grown hugely in popularity every year since its launch in 2009. Here is the press release announcing the calendar: You can read their full press release below, but first the stuff you clicked on this story for: a video and some photos. The calendars have raised $42,000 for Sport Allies, which fights homophobia and bullying. We have fun creating them and we want everyone to have fun looking at them. We don't mind who enjoys the calendars and films. Not just by funding our outreach work, but by making a statement. I hope that this is something our calendars and our films can help to address. "I've been able to hear about their experiences of being bullied, and struggling to come to terms with their sexuality. "I've had the chance to meet people from the LGBT community that I might not otherwise have met," said Laurence Hulse, a 2014 centerfold and one of the calendar organizers. There are other funding levels that include video and a signed poster. Getting naked to raise money for a good cause is a smart business move and the photos below are enough to get many to buy a 2015 calendar (about $17). They have set up a crowd-funding site to raise money for their production costs. Our good friends at the Warwick University rowing team in England are putting together their 2015, some of the proceeds of which go to groups fighting homophobia in sports.
