(Los Angeles, CA.; May 23, 1997) Danni's Hard Drive, one of the most successful adult web sites on the Internet, will sponsor an evening of exotic dancing and celebrate the art of the striptease to benefit the "Children of the Night" Shelter for abused teens on Thursday, August 21st at 8:00p.m. at "The Palace" in Hollywood. Tickets are $75.00 and can be purchased by calling Danni's Hard Drive at (310-258-0930) or through the World Wide Web at www.danni.com. More than 20 of the country's most renowned exotic dancers will fly to Los Angeles for the charity event, which is expected to attract over a thousand guests and raise at least $50,000 for Children of the Night. Danni Ashe, founder and CEO of the hugely successful Danni's Hard Drive, will once again "strut her stuff," in direct response to the thousands of requests she has received from her internet clients and fan club members. Although a very successful exotic dancer and model for nearly a decade, Danni's full time commitment to creating and building Danni's Hard Drive put her performing career on the back burner. After 2 1/2 years away from the stage, Danni will be making this rare performance in support of Children of the Night. Just this week the subject of a front-page story in The Wall Street Journal, Danni's Hard Drive has amassed an amazing amount of mainstream media coverage since the site's launch in July 1995. After hiring and firing several programmers who never quite could produce the kind of web site she had in mind, Danni, in typical entrepreneurial fashion, taught herself HTML, built her "Hard Drive" and immediately created a huge audience niche. In the course of 23 months, the site's initial 70,000 hits per day have grown to 3.7 million, gross revenue has grown by more than 2000% and the staff has ballooned from one part-timer to a dozen full-time staff members. Children of the Night was established in 1979 by Dr. Lois Lee, out of a growing concern for children who are forced into prostitution or pornography. The 24-bed shelter provides refuge, food and skilled counsel for abused teens as they await placement in a suitable environment. Services include food, clothing emergency medical care, crisis intervention, academic assessment of English, Math, and Social Studies, foster home placement and a 24-hour hotline to help get exploited young girls and boys off the streets.
