Turns out the biggest donation of toys to Doernbecher Children’s Hospital each year doesn’t come from the drop box in the lobby of your dentist’s office. It doesn’t come from the toy drive at your veterinarian, your kid’s school, or a local broadcast news station. Nope—it comes from strippers.

Portland strippers have donated $183,000 worth of toys over the past 14 years to Doernbecher as the result of an annual event called Tatas for Toys. This year’s show will be held Dec. 16 at a new venue, the Alberta Rose Theatre.

Tatas for Toys at the Alberta Rose Theatre, 3000 NE Alberta St., 503-719-6055, albertarosetheatre.com. 7 pm Tuesday, Dec. 16. $25.75. 21+.

I mean, this is definitely the wrong sub to crosspost this in, but maybe the idea will catch on up here. Fingers crossed!

I crossposted here as they're doing another charity event in Alberta.

I found this funny as I'm suprised they chose Alberta of all places for their charity event😂
