UW-L students strip down and go nearly naked for good cause

LA CROSSE, Wis. — Some UW-La Crosse students stripped down for the fifth annual “Nearly Naked’ race Thursday night on campus.  It’s not just for fun, runners also donate clothes which go to a local women’s shelter.

They also raise money which goes to the “Brick by Brick” campaign to help build schools in Africa.
