Successfully raising $4,560 from more than 900 attendees, fundraiser beneficiary Being Alive said the event, thanks to Titan, raised $1,000 more than last year.
DVD donations came exclusivey from the TitanMen collection of the company’s portfolio of gay porn titles.
Being Alive is a nonprofit membership organization created and operated by and for people living with HIV/AIDS. All proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the grand opening of the Being Alive Silver Lake Service Center on Sunday, Sept. 18 from 3-6 p.m.
“As I'm sure you know, government resources for HIV/AIDS are shrinking all the time which means that your contributions are all the more critical,” Staying Alive’s Executive Director Demetri Moshoyannis said.
The Faultline, named after the 1994 Northridge earthquake, is one of Los Angeles's most popular leather/Levi bars serving and supporting the gay community for more than 10 years. The bar was formerly known as the Stud and before that Griff’s.
"We at TitanMen are always happy to support local HIV/AIDS charities and events," Bruce Cam, CEO of Titan Media, said. "It is even more appropriate and fitting that events benefiting HIV/AIDS charities are partnered with companies such as TitanMen that promote and eroticize safer sex practices in all our products. HIV/AIDS is still a threat to our community and we are dedicated to doing all we can to support and promote HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention in local communities." Titan is a subsidiary of San Francisco-based Io Group that manages titles for ManPlay, TitanMen Fresh and TitanMen, which are all distributed globally via DVD, video-on-demand, cable, mobile and over the Internet.
