Ohio strip club hosts ‘Lap dances for Haiti’

TOLEDO, Ohio — 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 (I-S-O-H)/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.
