Budgie smuggler clad walkers to Strut the Streets for Indigenous education

Martin Place will witness hundreds of swimwear-clad revellers today as they take to the streets for the fifth annual Strut the Streets, a parade which raises money for the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME).

AIME runs a program around Australia which aims to see every Indigenous student finish school at the same rate as non-Indigenous students.

Wallabies player Kurtley Beale and Waratahs player Pat McCutheon will participate in the event, stripping down to fluoro budgie smugglers for the cause.

AIME CEO Jack Manning Bancroft said in a statement: “This is the fifth year that we’ve run Strut the Streets and we’re aiming to raise $200K for AIME to help us on our path to engage 10,000 Indigenous high school students annually across Australia by 2018, with every participant finishing school at the same rate as every Australian child.”
