“It’’s really going to benefit and raise some money. It’’s a little bit unusual but in that way, it’’s a lot of fun,” the New York Daily News quoted Pankratova, as saying.
For every stroke, Kiehl’’s would donate 44 dollars to the organization, while promoting the re-launch of its shaving cream.
She finished at 58 strokes and raised 2,552 dollars. Girls from the club clamored around the 6-foot-5 Pankratova along with the media, counting down the strokes and calculating the final amount.
The money will help the Girls” Club art and photography classes as well as keeping some of their annual trips alive.
The 36-year-old Russian model was glad to contribute for the cause.
“It’’s a great experience. I wouldn”t do it just to show off my legs, but if it benefits a lot of people it’’s very good,” said Pankratova.
