Pachard, whose real name is Ron Sullivan, has directed hundreds of titles since beginning his career in the ‘70s, including classics like “Babylon Pink” and several installments of the Swedish Erotica series. A well-known and loved industry figure, Pachard was recently diagnosed with a reoccurrence of cancer.

Mullen, who helmed “Not the Bradys XXX” under his screen name Will Ryder, said that for the next 30 days, $1 from the sale of each copy of the title would go to the Pachard Fund.

Produce by Hustler/LFP, the title is one of the most successful sleeper hits of 2007. Mullen has said that sales for the DVD are still going strong and he plans on directing several more TV sitcom parodies.

Since the news about Pachard broke last week, an outpouring of support and offers of assistance have come forward.

P.A.W. is an industry resource organization operated by veteran performer Bill Margold. It provides peer counseling, resource information and emergency relief for industry members.

Margold has promised to donate the revenue and donations generated by the P.A.W. booth at Erotica LA show, scheduled for June 6-8 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Classic star Amber Lynn has joined forces with Margold for fundraising efforts, and will sell autographed posters and photo opportunities at the P.A.W. booth on behalf of the Pachard fund.

Lynn and Margold are also working with several other industry members in an attempt to produce a benefit DVD, tentatively titled “We Are the World of XXX.” Production is scheduled for June 10-11, and several big names have volunteered their services, including Lynn, Georgina Spelvin, Debi Diamond, Manuel Ferarra, Mr. Marcus, Roy Karch, Paul Thomas and Axel Braun among others.

According to Margold, the production also is looking for donations of a box of hi-definition tapes, as well as the use of a large truck to haul equipment.
