Saanich Firefighters

Victoria Times Colonist | Behind the scenes at the firefighters' calendarFunds from sales of the calendar will go toward the Saanich Fire Charitable Foundation, which raised more than $100,000 for local charities last year through various events. The events included community runs to help burn victims, building a Little League clubhouse and an NHL old-timers hockey game which raised one of the biggest single donations to the Mustard Seed food bank yet.

They've done calendars previously, in 2010, 2009 and 2006: The photo is from the 2009 calendar. When 2010 goes on sale, it should be available here.

It gives me a warm feeling to see any organization continue the tradition over multiple years. It means everyone involved is having fun.

The calendar goes for $12.25 with some of the proceeds benefiting The Food Chain an HIV/AIDS charity out of London. The official site also features pictures from previous years going back to 2004. Note: The men pictured are not necessarily genuine priests. This is disclosed on the official site as well.

Austrian Ski Instructors

From WayOdd:

Austrian ski instructors in Arlberg region have agreed to bare it all after students ask them to release a naked calendar. A company spokesman said, "We often get men staring at the female instructors and many women seem to sign up just to flirt with their teachers, so we thought, why not give them what they want?"

Apparently this has been a phenomenally successful item for them. I'm not seeing any mention of a charity, though, so this may be a tad outside my target area.

See also Ananova, Kink (1, 2), Natives.co.uk, and the official site at Skilehrerinnen.at (or here). And I believe this page from the Burg Hotel refers to the same calendar. Fair warning: They don't hide behind things.
