Girlfriends Films Donates $1000 to NPR on Behalf of Ryan Keely
The Lesbian Performer & Penthouse Pet Believes NPR’s Commitment to Unbiased News Is Essential to Social Education
June 1, 2011 --- CHATSWORTH, Calif. --- Girlfriends Films is donating
$1000 to NPR (National Public Radio) on behalf of Ryan Keely in
accordance with the studio's monthly charity program. Ryan Keely's
submission of NPR is June's donation, and third monthly check for $1000
in the charity program's new format. In April, performer / director
Melissa Monet selected Planned Parenthood, while in May, performer Lily
Cade chose Lambda Legal. Ryan Keely, a frequent lesbian performer with
Girlfriends Films and a Penthouse Pet, believes in NPR's commitment to
social education. "NPR is an amazing, mostly unbiased news source
providing in-depth coverage of complex news stories," states Ryan
Keely.
"It is very important to donate to NPR, as the government is looking to
de-fund this important program. Government funded in the past, NPR's
lack of commercials provide the air time for the reporters to fully
explain current events in an intelligent and interesting way. If it
weren't for NPR, I would not be as worldly a woman as I am today."
Keely continues, "I'm honored my entreaty on behalf of NPR was
selected by Girlfriend Films to receive this generous donation. In
every scene I've ever shot for Girlfriends Films, they've allowed me to
express my sexuality in a true and accurate way. Girlfriends Films is a
leader in creating real lesbian erotic films. As their core business
is groundbreaking in concept, it is unsurprising they go above and
beyond, donating to charity in this creative way. I dearly hope this
action inspires others to give, as there are many worthy causes in need
of money and volunteers."
"It is often difficult to find media willing to suppress their
preconceived notions when reporting," says Girlfriends Films Vice
President Moose. "NPR provides a platform for its listeners to hear the
virtues of the industry, instead of merely criticisms. Ryan made a
great choice when selecting NPR to receive the $1000 for the month of
June, and we are proud to present the organization with the check."
Each month, Girlfriends Films selects an adult performer from
received entries and makes a $1000 donation in her name to the specified
charity. The only condition is performers must choose from one of the
organizations receiving a "B+" rating or better by the American
Institute of Philanthropy (
http://www.charitywatch.org/toprated.html).
Girlfriends Films has a long history of charitable contributions,
having donated over $20,000 in 2010 alone. The company recently
restructured its charity program from an annual end-of-year donation to
an ongoing, monthly program. Any Girlfriends Films performers
interested in participating may apply by emailing the following
information to
PR@GirlfriendsFilms.com:
name, AIP charity of choice, reason(s) for selecting the charity.
Chosen performers will be asked to submit a personal photo depicting the
performer engaged with the charity, the charity's mission, or a similar
charitable act. The photo will be used for promotional purposes.

Women: Volume 63", "Women Seeking Women: Volume 64", "Women Seeking
