The final numbers are in and over $650,000 was raised in this year's event, the 7th annual "Underwear Affair". Thanks to the generous FTers who donated to the cause! ^

In a press release issued after the event one statistic stood out to me:

"33% of diagnosed cancers in Alberta are those which occur below-the-waist which are prostate, colorectal, ovarian, testicular, bladder, cervical, and uterine cancers," said Myka Osinchuk, Chief Executive Officer of the Alberta Cancer Foundation.
