Madonna - Madonna Raises $60,000 For Sandy Relief

The pop superstar visited one of the areas worst affected by the disaster during her trip to New York this month (Nov12), and she was inspired to help raise money for relief efforts when she took to the stage at Madison Square Garden on Monday (12Nov12).

She dropped her trousers to show her bare butt and ordered fans to throw money on stage, and she also pulled a similar stunt during her Tuesday night (13Nov12) concert at the same venue.

Madonna's risque fundraising tactic appears to have paid off as she collected $60,000 (£37,500) in donations, according to the New York Post's Page Six column.

The total came from two nights of onstage donations, as well as contributions from her production team and other associates.
