Celebrating the Bare Chest Calendar: A Brotherhood of Support for PRC

For over four decades, the Bare Chest Calendar (BCC) has been more than just a fundraiser, it’s been a community, a movement, and a lifeline for PRC and our clients. As PRC’s oldest community fundraiser, the Bare Chest Calendar holds a special place in our hearts, and we are forever grateful for their unwavering support.

On Thursday, February 13th, at the Powerhouse Bar during the third preliminary competition, the 2025 Bare Chest Calendar Men proudly presented a check for an incredible $249,641 from the 2025 calendar sales. This marks the second-highest single-year total in the BCC’s 41-year history! PRC CEO Chuan Teng, Chief Development Officer Randi Paul, and Development Communications Manager Seth Abrahamson joined the men on stage to express their heartfelt appreciation for their dedication and unwavering support.

The BCC has raised over $2 million since its founding, and in just the last three years, has raised over $290,000 to support PRC’s life-changing services. But their impact goes far beyond fundraising.

More Than a Calendar

Each year, the men featured in the BCC do much more than pose shirtless. From June through December, they dedicate countless hours to local and statewide fundraising events, educating the community about the organizations they support, and representing a cause that changes lives.

The BCC is more than a fundraiser—it’s a Brotherhood. Guided by Den Daddies, these men form deep connections, support one another, and return year after year to continue the tradition. Some of them have even been recipients of PRC’s services, and their participation is a way of giving back to the organizations that have helped them.

A Transformational Experience

For many Calendar Men, the experience is life-changing. They’ve shared stories of how it has:
✔ Helped them integrate into a new city
✔ Built their confidence in public speaking
✔ Made them feel more comfortable in their skin
✔ Connected them with incredible people and lasting friendships

The Bare Chest Calendar is about courage, camaraderie, and community, and we couldn’t be more proud of the men who step up every year to support PRC and other vital organizations.
