If you work for a non-profit, here's your next fundraising idea. An Arizona photographer by the name of Chad Castigliano has created a calendar featuring his "lumbersexual" friend - and it's hilarious!

Responding to a lack of photo shoots featuring half-naked, bearded men lounging in their natural habitat, Castigliano, owner of Chronicker Photography created "The Whimsical Woodsman" calendar.

The calendar stars his friend Tim Wilson, who's a full-time Arizona wild lands firefighter. He's photographed, as Castigliano says,

"Posing with power tools, sizzling in suspenders, and flaunting what his mama gave him in flannel."

As a fundraising project, Castigliano and his wife decided to make a calendar, with the hope of raising money for the nonprofit Books to the Rescue, an organization that offers books as a way of comforting kids in crisis situations.

They recruited Wilson and his wife to their cause and they agreed to donate a portion of the calendar's profits to Books to the Rescue. Their goal is $50,000 so they can fill every sheriff's vehicle in their county with reading resources.

Castigliano hoped they'd get 1,000 shares to spread the word about the charity, but when word got out, their post was shared more than 30 million times on Facebook - and that was just in the first week. To see some of the pictures, CLICK HERE.
