    Default question about raising money at work

    Hi Ladies,
    I have been thinking about something for a while now, but not sure how to go about doing it. After reading the thread on charity dances etc. I thought,,,"Jeez, our bar never does anything like that" and it's something I wanted to start before, just didn't think it would fly. Anyway, I am involved in with an animal shelter in town, and I always work the same bar where the staff and dancer trust me (to the best of my knowledge!) and I wanted to start up something. The city has been trying to close my club for like 10 years, being that it is a sorta snooty area, so i figure it might also help with public opinion of the club and the dancers.
    Not saying I am in a position to organize something huge, but even if some girls wanted to donate money in some way how do I organize it so they trust me? I don't expect them to give ME the money,,,,how does this all work? I know nothing about this....anyone have any ideas or info on something like this?
    Thanks,
    Kennedy

    I tried that sort of thing once....nobody gave a shit. It was a couple of things...trust (not ALL the girls know you), apathy, greediness.

    I guess I can understand. I would be apprehensive about it.

    What I did once was just tell customers that all the money I raised that night was being donated to the shelter. Some thoguht I was full of shit or crazy, but in the end, it's the same to them....and to me.

    Our club adopts a needy family every Christmas and does one song a couple of nights where the girls all go up together and then go out for tips to raise money for them to have a tree and presents. Last year we raised I think $700 for them. We got to all see the presents piled up in our costume shop and help wrap them. It's really uplifting and always puts me in a good mood when we do them, and I have never seen a decrease in my money from it, not significantly anyway. We find the families through the city's trustees office.

    Be aware that in many cities that charities have REFUSED to accept money raised and donated by strip clubs ! All that was really accomplished was to create even more negative public perception of strip clubs once the refused donation story showed up in the local media.

    In a couple of cities where this happened, the fresh publicity attracted by the incident set off a renewed push for local politicians to crack down on strip clubs - a wonderful payback for the effort and generosity of the clubs and dancers involved in the charity events.

    Hmmm i have done charity work for the American red Cross and Voices for Animals. In a strip club, may be hard to do. As it's 1) not a place people will feel comfortable about money going anyplace then where they intend it to go. Hell alot of guys even think dancers get to keep all the money made that night.

    Now if this is something that would benefit the club itself, and aot of customers realy liked the place, kinda like a second home, they would be all for it. Media, not sure.

    It's just hard to generate money for anything not related to the establishment you are doing charity work from and for.

    I love the idea, but many want the money to go to you or keep the club open. And they DO know that not all monies go to charity.

    You know ,the only place I've heard of something done like that was at this club that one of the dancers became seriously injured. Of course most donations came from people she knew.
    Otherwise I think that most people see s.c.'s as tied to organized crime and would bulk at receiving blood money or a front for laundered money.
    Best to take donations at a more reputable organizations.

    I think the dancers and customers would trust this more if it were organized by the club management. At least so the DJ can announce it. And you wouldn't be holding the money. But first you should ask the animal shelter if their willing to accept donations from strippers.
