It’s been a while since Atlanta could claim a winner. But thanks to the jocks of Life University’s rugby team, we’ve now got quite a trophy to grab ahold off. The team captured the USA Rugby Men’s Division I National Championship earlier this year and now wants to cash in on their notoriety — and considerable brawn — for charity, of course, with a new calendar. Who loves a winner? We do, month after month after month.
In an effort that shows they’re either good sports or savvy at marketing, six of the rugby hunks stopped by a gay bookstore and coffeehouse recently to peddle flesh and sign calendars for their gay — and a few straight — fans.
On hand were Nolte (January), Aaron (February), Ben (March), Nathan (July), Mark (November) and Kendrick (December). Not to miss an opportunity to score some sales, organizers of the appearance convinced each of the players to peel off their shirts if someone bought two calendars per player. You’ve never seen 12 calendars sell so fast. Sexy New Zealander Nathan, ever so playful, was even willing to show more to boost sales.
A portion of the proceeds from the calendar benefit Susan G. Komen For the Cure, which is a leader in the fight against breast cancer.

It would be really nice if some of these men’s calendars would give their proceeds to charities that fight mens’ cancers. Breast cancer seems to get everyone’s support while prostate cancer, which kills more people annually than breast cancer, seems to only be mentioned when discussing the causes of impotency in Viagra commercials.

Zeke – i couldnt agree more. Its always all about breast cancer but there are many cancers out there; bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer here in UK (and i think in the US too) yet it gets nowhere near the publicity and exposure as breast cancer. Annoys the hell out of me.

While, selling a home really an expensive process, it’s complex as well however it is simple. We buy a number of houses each month in the area of Northern Virginia including Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax and in all price range. We use private funds as a result we can act fast and we are linked with a group of House Buyers who are private investors.
