Organizer defends prison fundraiser

RENO -- The organizer of a Nevada State Prison fundraiser that included a scantily clad singer defends the event, saying, "You see more at the Super Bowl."

Terry Hubert is a Vietnam Veterans of America volunteer who organized the June 26 barbecue. It included a female singer who stripped down to a lingerie-style top with spaghetti straps during a parody of Madonna's "Hanky Panky."

The event raises money for local charities and elementary schools.
