Twelve volunteers of the Bulverde Humane Society have taken a daring move and are literally giving the shirts off their backs to raise money for homeless animals.
The women have posed topless in a 2010 calendar that is described as not only the first of its kind in Bulverde, but possibility in the whole state of Texas.
"I've seen the movie 'Calendar Girls' and thought it was fantastic, so I thought, 'Why don't we do this, why can't we do this?" said Barbara Hall, president of the Bulverde Humane Society.
With donations down in the face of an increased number of homeless pets, the shelter needed to be creative with their fundraising. So Hall said she presented the idea to Lynda Binkley, secretary of the organization, who loved the idea and asked the rest of the board for their approval. "We're a small town," Hall said.
"You know, Texas is a bible belt. "Her idea was not only endorsed by the board, but several volunteers at the shelter wanted to be in the calendar."
(There's) not much I wouldn't do for this shelter and these animals," said Binkley.
