The Men Of HuffPost Calendar Raises Money For The RaiseForWomen Challenge (PHOTOS)

LOOK: The First Ever Men Of HuffPost Calendar
|

With just over a week left in The RaiseForWomen Challenge, a fundraising project to help female-focused charities gain recognition and resources, The Huffington Post has been searching for the ideal way to give the campaign a little extra visibility.

What better way to do that than to take a cue from esteemed groups like The Chippendales and the men featured in "Hot Guys and Baby Animals," and shoot the first-ever The Men of HuffPost Calendar?

What resulted may not resemble NYC's "Hottest Firefighters" calendar, but it certainly gives you a peek into the diverse, hunky and pretty awkward group of men at HuffPost -- all in the name of raising the profile of these amazing women's charities (and raising some cold hard cash for them in the process).

Check out the images from the calendar below (and learn a little more about each of the men by clicking through the slideshow at the bottom). And if you'd like your very own Men of HuffPost calendar (don't be shy, ladies and gents!), you can download a free PDF version of the calendar by clicking here and saving. And more importantly, we hope you'll consider clicking the button below and pledging the suggested donation of $11.00 to your favorite participating charity.
