NEW YORK — Blush has announced the recipients of its annual Pride Month fundraising campaign.
With the participation of adult distributors and retail partners who sell the Avant Pride line, Blush will be donating $1 per sale throughout the month of June 2019 to the Newark-based Masakhane Center.
Additionally, Blush has renewed its commitment to support last year’s fundraising recipient, the Ali Forney Center with a matching donation.
"We are a company that insists upon recognizing the rights of all individuals," said Blush’s Marketing Director Ducky DooLittle. "We understand that meeting the basic needs of a human being must come before pleasure. Knowing that from a young age that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, and pansexual youth face extraordinary obstacles means we must go above and beyond in our efforts to care for them."
"We are so grateful for the medically accurate and inclusive sex education Masakhane provides," she continued. "The services the Ali Forney Center delivers to LGBTQ youth are vital, and we are proud to fundraise for them."
Established in 2006, the Masakhane Center for Sex Positive Education is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Working with an entirely volunteer staff, the Center offers a sex-positive resource for young people in the Newark, New Jersey area by providing workshops at schools, youth organizations, drug and alcohol treatment centers, parent groups, shelters, and more.

The 501(c)3 non-profit organization provides over 70,000 meals annually, in addition to medical and mental health services and a scattered-site housing program, including emergency housing and transitional living programs.
