WATERVILLE, Ohio, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- An Ohio strip club said it raised nearly $1,000 during a "Lap dances for Haiti" charity event.

Bosses at Marilyn's on Monroe, which does not actually allow lap dances, said all the money from the club's $10 cover charge Sunday would go to Hope, or ISOH/IMPACT, a charity based in Waterville, Ohio, that is participating in Haitian earthquake relief efforts, the Toledo Blade reported Monday.

General Manager Kenny Soprano said local businesses wanted to give back to the community.

"We'd been racking our brains for about a month or so, thinking about what we could do," he said. "You don't hear much about strip clubs giving back to the community."
