"Lap Dances for Haiti" Raises $1K in Ohio

(AP)  A strip club in Ohio has raised $1,000 for Haitian earthquake relief during what was billed as "Lap dances for Haiti."

Marilyn's on Monroe in Toledo donated the $10 cover charges collected Saturday to ISOH/IMPACT, an organization based in suburban Perrysburg that provides food and clothing for Haiti.

Marilyn's general manager Kenny Soprano says his establishment had been looking for a reason to hold a charity fundraiser even before the quake, as a way to improve its image. He says you don't hear much about strip clubs giving back to the community.

ISOH/IMPACT CEO Linda Greene doesn't have a problem with where the money came from. She says her group appreciates any donations to help Haiti.

If they donated the $10 per person cover charge, it meant that about 100 men went to the Strip Club if they gave only $1,000 to Haiti. On average, each man would have dropped an average of $100 each for the entertainment inside the Strip Club. That means that the club made at least $10,000 off of the Haiti victims for this kind of advertizing. Amazing what you don't get for $10,000, isn't it.
