xHamster to Donate Press Services to Pineapple Support

LOS ANGELES — xHamster said it will provide free media outreach and other press services to Pineapple Support.

The nonprofit Pineapple Support provides support services for adult performers, including access to mental health services and emotional support.

“With the new year upon us, we wanted to raise awareness for the 24/7 emotional support services Pineapple Support have arranged for performers,” said Alex Hawkins, xHamster’s vice president. “We have been talking with the team for some time about how to best help, and we saw this campaign as a launching point to reach more performers.”

“Pineapple Support is providing performers in crisis with life-saving services, but the need is great,” said Leya Tanit, founder of Pineapple Support. “We’re a small organization, operating on a small budget and the goodwill of those who volunteer with us. We are incredibly thankful to have xHamster on board to help raise awareness for our mission, and ultimately get more performers the counseling they need.”

Hawkins said that more adult entertainment companies need to step forward to help Pineapple Support.

“Performers are the backbone of our industry, and every company in it should be asking themselves right now what they can donate, either in cash or services, to help support this incredible organization. Leya has already moved mountains with her passion and dedication. We, as an industry, owe it to her to do whatever we can to help Pineapple Support succeed.”
