Ready for some tasteful nudity to support a good cause?

The 2015 naked calendar of the University of Warwick men's rowing team is out to combat gay discrimination.

The U.K. squad has been producing a nude datebook fundraiser since 2009. When it discovered that much of its audience was gay, the team figured it should direct its charity toward the LGBT community , according to a video released to promote the new calendar.

So the team has helped established a charity called Sport Allies, "a programme to reach out to young people challenged by bullying, homophobia or low self-esteem ," per the Warwick Rowers website.

Previous calendars have raised more than $300,000 and are now sold in 77 countries, the video explains.

Row, row, row your boats, gentlemen, and keep up the good work.
