VANCOUVER -- Maple Ridge’s most unusual Christmas fundraiser slid down a pole for the 17th-straight year Sunday – once again inviting controversy and fraying nerves at the charity it benefits.
The eight-hour Caddyshack Strip-a-thon was on track to raise $20,000 for the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper Society, according to organizers. Strippers each donated a free performance, while 40 bartenders and servers donated wages and tips.
