Strip club holds ‘Lap dances for Haiti’ earthquake relief event

A strip club in America has found a novel way to raise money for a good cause and improve its image – by holding a ‘Lap dances for Haiti’ event, raising nearly $1,000 (£640) for earthquake victims.

Nude strip club Marilyn’s on Monroe (which is on Monroe Street in Toledo, Ohio, you see) donated all the money from Sunday’s $10 cover charge to the International Services of Hope charity.

The name of the event was, in fact, somewhat misleading – while strip clubs are legal in Ohio, lap-dances are not.

The club’s manager, Kenny Soprano (yes, that is what he is called), stated it had been hard to find a charity that would accept money from a strip joint. He stated Marilyn’s had been considering a charity fund-raiser since before the Haiti earthquake to help improve the club’s reputation.

Linda Greene, the CEO of International Services of Hope, told the Toledo Blade that she was happy to accept donations from an adult establishment. ‘I do not have a problem with it,’ she said.
