HOSPITAL RETURNS DONATION FROM SASK. MEN’S CLUB

-

A Catholic hospital foundation is returning a donation from a Saskatoon men’s club that reportedly raised $25,000 at a fundraiser where women danced in lingerie. CBC reported earlier this week that the Canadian Progress Club held its annual Boys Lunch Out on Friday. A CBC reporter shot a short video at the invitation-only event that showed women in G-strings gyrating on raised walkways to rock and pop music. The Progress Club has said the event has been “grossly misreprese­nted,” but added it will review all future fundraiser­s. The St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation said the fundraiser wasn’t in keeping with Catholic values. The foundation said in a statement that those values emphasize respect of the whole person.
