A business in Fayetteville has come up with a non-traditional, and controversial way of collecting Toys for Tots.
College Avenue Gentlemen's Club is offering two lap dances for the price of one for any patron who brings in a new toy for a child.
Called "Toys for Tatas," the club says the promotion will last throughout the month of December.
So how does Toys for Tots feel about the promotion?
"I really knew nothing about it. It's certainly not that something we had been made aware of or certainly not something we would have endorsed," says Toys for Tots Coordinator John Staples. "As long as it's done in a legal manner, and as long as people are bringing us new, unwrapped toys, we don't get into how they were gathered, and what the process was."
The club is collecting toys through the end of the month.
