Girlfriends Films Celebrates Caitlyn Jenner with Donation to National Center for Transgender Equality

Adult Companies Are Invited to Match Girlfriends Films’ $1,000 Donation!


VALENCIA, Calif. (June 9, 2015) — Girlfriends Films is using the June selection for its charity program to celebrate Caitlyn Jenner and her gender transformation.  A $1,000 donation will be made to the National Center for Transgender Equality in Jenner’s name.  The adult studio is also calling upon other companies in the industry to match its donation and help support the transgender community.

National Center for Transgender Equality was founded in 2003 by transgender activists who recognized the urgent need for policy change to advance transgender equality.  Providing a powerful transgender advocacy presence in Washington, DC, NCTE is composed of a team of hard-working staff members and supported by a nationwide community of transgender people, allies, and advocates with an extensive record of winning life-saving change for transgender people.

The adult entertainment industry has recently become famous for its very public offers to celebrities, tempting them to appear in movies for a large amount of money – sometimes as much as $1 million.  Celebrities targeted include Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Tara Reid, Pipa Middleton, Rob Gronkowski, and more.

Last week, Girlfriends Films took a different approach, sending Caitlyn Jenner’s representatives a letter giving her the opportunity to direct or appear in an erotic educational movie raising awareness for the transgender community.  All profits from the film would be donated to a transgender non-profit of Jenner’s choice.  The offer was politely declined via email by Jenner’s publicity team.

“Everyone at Girlfriends Films was inspired by Caitlyn’s Vanity Fair cover and her story,” says Girlfriends Films President Moose.  “We were very sincere in making our movie offer in order to help bring even more awareness, support, and money to the transgender community.  However, we also want to applaud Caitlyn’s transition through our charity program.”

“I invite our friends and colleagues in the adult industry to join us in donating to National Center for Transgender Equality,” adds Moose.  “We in the adult movie-making industry have been judged and marginalized by society for decades and have great compassion for other individuals who are fighting for acceptance and tolerance.

Girlfriends Films is the premier lesbian adult studio in the world, and for over a decade, it has worked to make a difference through a sex-positive message of pleasure, love, and acceptance, as well as through philanthropy and outreach.  Girlfriends Films’ motto, “For Fine Folks with Good Hearts & Curious Minds,” has appeared on the cover of every movie the company has ever made.

Each month, Girlfriends Films donates to a charity selected by its employees, performers, directors, and adult industry principals. In 2014, the Girlfriends Films Charity Program donated over $20,000 to a wide array of philanthropic organizations, from medical institutes to animal sanctuaries.  Charities supported in 2014 included Alzheimer’s Foundation of America,  Movember Foundation,  Stand Up to Cancer,  National Alliance to End Homelessness, and more.

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.

‘Road Queen’ Star Deauxma Selects Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund as Girlfriends Films’ May Charity

Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund www.fallenheroesfund.org is the Girlfriends Films May Charity, as selected by “Road Queen” star https://twitter.com/Deauxma Deauxma. With the charity choice, the
popular MILF performer is paying tribute to her family members who have served in the military. Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund will receive a check for $1,000 from Girlfriends Films in Deauxma’s name.

“The reason I picked this charity is because the military is close to me,” states Deauxma. “My father was a retired vet, and so is my husband, who served 20 years in the Air Force. The Intrepid House is also located here in my hometown of San Antonio, Texas.”

 Deauxma continues, “The fund provides services in support of military personnel severely injured protecting our nation; services are designed to improve the medical care provided to them and enhance their ability to return to military service or a productive and independent civilian life. Our vets and active duty military give so much and get so little in return for their service to our country, so that we can all live in a free world. Those wounded and scarred should be given as much help as they can to live out a normal and peaceful life.”

Multiple Sclerosis Foundation Chosen by Trinity St. Claire as April’s Girlfriends Films Charity

Adult star Trinity St. Claire chooses the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (MSF) as Girlfriends Films’
April Charity. The selection is in honor of St. Claire’s mother, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

MSF will receive a check for $1,000 from Girlfriends Films in St. Claire’s name. Trinity St. Claire states, “There is one woman who I would give my life for, and that is my mom. She is the strongest, most resilient woman I know. After giving and caring for others for years as a nurse, she was hit with a whirlwind – multiple sclerosis.”

“When she was diagnosis with MS I was scared for her. She fought each attack back, never letting it
defeat her. Now she lives day in and day out with this disease. Each day is different, and each day
brings on challenges, but she’s a survivor and will always conquer it,” adds St. Claire.
MSF provides a comprehensive approach to helping people with MS maintain their health and wellbeing.

It offers programming and support to keep them self-sufficient and their homes safe, while
its educational programs heighten public awareness and promote understanding about the disease.

men’s health awareness in society,” states Wilson. “Movember is a great way to get people involved in health issues, like prostate cancer. I’m extremely thankful to Girlfriends Films for the opportunity to support Movember in honor of my father.”

Honoring Christian Mann, Girlfriends Films Donates $1000 to USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center

Adult industry leader Christian Mann recently passed away, and as a result, Girlfriends Films will designate the studio’s September charity donation of $1,000 to the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. Mann’s family requested contributions be made to the charity in lieu of flowers or other gifts.

Donations to the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center allow it to continue to provide compassionate, innovative patient care and further the cutting-edge cancer research of its scientists. The research leads to a better understanding of the causes, and ultimately discovering cures, for cancer. The center’s highly skilled physicians, nurses and researchers are unwaveringly dedicated to the fight against cancer and truly appreciate all support from donors.

Girlfriends Films President Moose says, “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Mann family. Christian embodied everything good about our industry, allowing his actions and generosity to change perceptions of the adult entertainment. He showed we all have a social responsibility to give back to the community, which is something our charity program strives to do.”

Each month, Girlfriends Films turns to one of its employees or performers to select a charity to support. In 2013, the Girl- friends Films Charity Program donated over $20,000 to a wide array of philanthropic organizations, from medical institutes to animal sanctuaries.

Armed Services YMCA Chosen by Girlfriends Films Employee Dave as August Charity

Each month Girlfriends Films turns to one of its employees or performers to select a charity to sup- port. On behalf of Girlfriends Films employee Dave, the Armed Services YMCA will receive a check for $1,000 as the August Charity. The Armed Services YMCA is a top-rated military nonprofit de- signed to make military life easier on families.

“I am selecting this organization for two primary reasons,” states Dave. “First, their support of our military families, as it is the entire family that sacrifices when a loved one is called upon to assist in maintaining the safety many of us take for granted, and the freedoms allowing us to express our differing opinions. The second reason is because of its support of the needs of our troops’ children through its programs, as well as its collaborative efforts with Operation Homefront and other quality organizations.”

The Armed Services YMCA provides hands-on, innovative, specialized programs and support ser- vices to military service members and their families with a particular focus on junior-enlisted men and women — the individuals on the front lines of defending America. Programs are offered at no or low cost and require no dues or membership fees.

In 2013, the Girlfriends Films Charity Program donated over $20,000 to a wide array of philanthropic organizations, from medical institutes to animal sanctuaries.

GFF Operations Manager Karen Chooses Alzheimer’s Foundation of America as July Charity

July’s Girlfriends Films charity is the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, as selected by GFF Operations Manager Karen. As a result, the foundation will receive a check for $1000 on behalf of Karen in order to help continue its mission to provide optimal care and services to those affected by Alzheimer’s and Dementia.

“I have been honored this month to choose a charity for our company’s monthly donation program,” states Karen. “My husband was diagnosed with early onset Dementia two years ago, and I have watched the man I’ve known and loved for over 40 years become unable to work, remember recent events, and perform ordinary daily activities. His onset was slow, and I didn’t recognize the signs at first. He kept getting lost and didn’t seem to remember the simplest things. Medication doesn’t seem to do much, but we hold out for a cure. I also watched my father, mother-in-law, and father in-law also suffer with this memory stealing disease. You never know if it will happen to you or your family.”

“I have chosen the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America as my charity because this organization is helping raise awareness and educate health care profession and the public at large,” explains Karen. “They also provide care and services to individuals and caregivers confronting dementia through member organizations dedicated to improving the quality of life for individuals suffering with Dementia/Alzheimer’s, as well as their families.”

Each month, Girlfriends Films turns to its employees, performers, directors, and adult industry principals to select a charity to support. In 2013, the Girlfriends Films Charity Program donated over $20,000 to a wide array of philanthropic organizations, from medical institutes to animal sanctuaries.
“I hope others will join me and Girlfriends Films to help this wonderful charity,” adds Karen.

Each month, Girlfriends Films turns to its employees, performers, directors, and adult industry principals to select a charity to support. In 2013, the Girlfriends Films Charity Program donated over $20,000 to a wide array of philanthropic organizations, from medical institutes to animal sanctuaries.

“It has been an extremely sad and difficult time – we barely have time to mourn one loss before someone else is diagnosed,” says Dory. “This is why I’m grateful to Girl- friends Films for the opportunity to contribute towards finding a cure. Stand Up to Cancer is a great charity, helping to make a difference.”

Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is a groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innova- tive cancer research that will get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now.

Girlfriends Films Editor Evan K. Designates Prevent Child Abuse America to Receive April Charity Donation

Evan K., an editor and seven-year employee of Girlfriends Films, has designated Prevent Child Abuse America as the recipient of April’s charity donation. As a result, Girlfriends Films will write a check for $1,000 to the organization on behalf of Evan.

“After reviewing the list of charities on CharityWatch.org, one that caught my attention was Prevent Child Abuse America,” states Evan K. “I hear on the news about all the abuse many children in our country have endured – being a father of four, I can’t imagine my kids suffering like some of the children we learn about. It is a tragedy that can be prevented if parents had the proper tools and counseling to identify their negative behavior. I can only hope my contribution can save at least one child from enduring any form of abuse. I want to thank Girlfriends Films for allowing its employees to contribute towards a worthy cause.”

Prevent Child Abuse America works to ensure the healthy development of children nationwide, rec- ognizing child development is a building block for both community and economic development. In- novative communities across the country are achieving great results in preventing abuse and neglect from ever occurring, and Prevent Child Abuse America is committed to bringing this kind of ingenuity to communities everywhere.

Each month, Girlfriends Films turns to its employees, performers, directors, and adult industry prin- cipals to select a charity to support. In 2013, the Girlfriends Films Charity Program donated over $20,000 to a wide array of philanthropic organizations, from medical institutes to animal sanctuaries.
“I am honored to be working for such a great company,” says Evan. “Employees are treated fairly, and even though our country is facing financial turmoil, I am blessed to still have my position. The experience working for Girlfriends Films on series like ‘Road Queen’ and ‘Lesbian Ghost Stories’ has been rewarding, and each day I continue to expand my knowledge in film editing. I have met wonder- ful co-workers and enjoy coming to work every day. I was amazed when we were recently asked to pick a charity in which our company will make a contribution to on our behalf. I embrace any corpora- tion that gives back to such charities and community.”

Movie Editor Marla Diamond Selects National Alliance to End Homelessness as Girlfriends Films’ March Charity

Marla Diamond, a longtime movie editor for Girlfriends Films, selected the National Alliance to End Homelessness as the GFF Charity of the Month. The organization, which campaigns to improve policy, build capacity, and educate opinion leaders, will receive a $1000 donation from Girlfriends Films on behalf of Marla.

“Most of the charities on the list we were given are amazingly worthwhile causes, and it is very difficult to pick just one,” admits Marla. “I have chosen the National Alliance to End Homelessness, as I am so saddened by the fact I see homeless people on the streets almost every day, sometimes mentally ill and / or in bad shape. I believe one of the most basic needs is for each person to have a home and preferably one that is as safe and as comfortable as pos- sible.”

Marla continues, “Although I don’t know much about this charity, it had an A+ rating on CharityWatch.org, and I am sure they will use the donation towards the goal of ending homelessness, as their name implies.”

According to its website, the National Alliance to End Homelessness is a leading voice on federal homelessness policy <http://www.endhomelessness.org/section/policy> . From advocating for improved federal policy to analyzing enacted and proposed legislation, the Alliance actively engages in the legislative process. The Alliance works collab- oratively with public, private, and nonprofit partners to develop, analyze, and advocate for policy solutions to home- lessness.

The Alliance provides capacity-building assistance through its Center for Capacity Building <http://www.endhome- lessness.org/section/aboutus/working_groups/capacity_building> to help communities turn policy solutions and proven best practices into viable, on-the-ground programs. The Alliance provides communities across the country with best practices, how-to kits, and technical assistance trainings to help them implement solutions developed through policy, research, and practice.

As 2014 opens, there has been no decline in the free-speech battles that the adult industry continues to wage. AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which received great attention and undoubtedly even more donations when it featured a gay couple getting married on a Pasadena Rose Parade float, is leading the charge against porn filming. With their fabrications and lies about STD transmissions on adult sets, they have been very effective in slinging lots of mud on us. Free Speech Coalition leads the adult industry’s defense but does so with a budget that is only a fraction of the budget spent by AHCF.

Sadly, there seems to be more and more headlines about child pornography cases. No companies within the industry would ever exploit a child. The one famous case was Traci Lords, of course, but 30 years has passed since that debacle. Since then, nearly everyone in the industry has demanded a government-issued photo ID from all performers, even our oldest MILF’s. Today, child porn only takes place between individuals, not adult companies. Still, the average person reading such headlines can be quick to condemn our industry. Our other industry trade group, ASACP (Adult Sites Against Child Pornography) is a watchdog organization that looks for child porn and, upon finding them, reports such cases to local and federal authorities.

As usual, Girlfriends Films is among the leaders when it comes to funding these organizations. We donate at least $1,000 each month to charitable causes. As January loses, we are donating $1,000 to be split by Free Speech Coalition and ASACP. We encourage others to do the same, especially the many companies in the adult industry who so far given nothing while riding the coat tails of the short list of responsible companies like Girlfriends Films.

Girlfriends Films’ December Charity Donation Benefits the Brain Trauma Foundation

On November 16, in Phoenix, Arizona, a promising young and recently married engineer had a seemingly simple accident. He fell off the back of a golf cart, striking his head on pavement. He was immediately taken to the hospital where – due to the severity of his injury – two parts of skull were removed to relieve pressure on the brain. Despite heroic efforts, the young man, Tony died nine days later.

Tony didn’t work at Girlfriends Films, but he is the brother-in-law of Moose, who heads up our sales & marketing effort, in addition to taking care of most of Girlfriends Films’ business affairs. Those who have watched our membership-site talk shows or kept in touch with our forum know Girlfriends Films has grown into a close family, from which nobody has ever quit or retired. We consider Tony a family member.

This month, to honor Tony, we are making our $1,000 donation to the Brain Trauma Foundation, headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1986, it facilitates research on brain injuries, publishes guidelines for treatment, and provides information for patients and families who deal with brain injuries. They even have a special program to assist field medics working in combat zones.

While nearly all of Girlfriends Films’ monthly donations are specified by our performers, our traditional year-end charity donations are selected by management to benefit our customers, whether they are at the wholesale level or are our ultimate consumers. This event was a reminder as to how unexpectedly catastrophic accidents can happen to any of us. Hopefully, none of us will ever suffer such an occurrence, however, we give now so you and your families will benefit from their services if the unspeakable ever does happen.

Tammy Sands Selects The Sunshine Foundation for Girlfriends Films’ November Charity

Tammy Sands Selects The Sunshine Foundation for Girlfriends Films’ November Charity
Director Tammy Sands chooses The Sunshine Foundation as Girlfriends Films’ November charity. The Sunshine Foundation will receive $1,000 from Girlfriends Films. Sunshine Foundation’s sole purpose is to answer the dreams of chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged and abused children ages three to eighteen, whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to financial strain that the child’s illness may cause.

“Thank you, Girlfriends Films, for allowing me to select The Sunshine Foundation for this month’s charity,” says Sands. “It’s so important for kids to experience childhood as it’s meant to be – and organizations like The Sunshine Foundation make that a reality for so many who otherwise cannot. I hope that this donation will help some kids have some great experiences so they can have as much of a happy childhood as possible.”

Bill Sample founded Sunshine Foundation in 1976 as an idea born during his many years as a Philadelphia police officer. Stationed on protective duty at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, Bill often met chronically ill or terminally ill children and their families. Through talking with the families, he learned the emotional and financial strain that comes with having a seriously ill child. Mounting medical bills and time off from work made providing their child with what could be their last dream seem out of reach.

After taking out a personal loan and gathering a small group of dedicated volunteers, Bill founded Sunshine Foundation, the Original Wish Granting Organization, with the mission of answering the dreams of chronically ill, seriously ill, physically challenged and abused children ages three to eighteen, whose families cannot fulfill their requests due to the financial strain that the child’s illness may cause.

With Bills direction, Sunshine Foundation has grown to include the Dream Village, a 22 square acre property, 15 miles of the Orlando theme parks, where children and their families stay in one of 9 fairytale themed cottages and enjoy a handicapped accessible playground, a wheelchair accessible pool and a miniature golf course during their stay.

Sunshine Foundation has answered over 36,000 dreams to date, and has been able to maintain that 82% of all donations go directly to children’s programs.

The catalyst for Girlfriends Films’ charitable donations

The catalyst for Girlfriends Films’ charitable donations program can be traced back to a single person, my sister Shelley. She was a school teacher and lived modestly, regularly giving a part of her paycheck to charities that dealt with causes she believed in. Well-traveled and highly schooled in geography and sociology, Shelley would occasionally tell me about a charitable donation she’d just made and why she made it. She was careful with her donations, vetting various charity groups via internet research including the web site, www.charitywatch.org.

While I initially admired Shelley’s generosity, I was happy to spend my money in other ways. However, the seed of giving that Shelly planted continued to grow and there became a point when I could no longer acquire discretionary goods while at the same time turning a blind eye to the problems suffered by others less fortunate than myself..
.
The seeds of Shelley’s concerns and good example spawned Girlfriends Films’ charity program as well as the company’s active interest and participation in social justices such as free speech and the freedom of consumers to enjoy pornography in the privacy of their own homes. .

After a two-year physical slide with a rare muscle disease and then a diagnosis of colon cancer this past June, Shelley died September 19. Through the example she set, her giving continues thru the Girlfriends Films’ charity program as well as our political involvement in industry matters. .

I’ve heard that charitable donations can be more meaningful if they remain anonymous. I disagree with that. For many of us – myself included – it is too easy not to give to others without being exposed to the good examples set by others. By publicizing our giving program and industry involvement, Girlfriends Films tries to get others to see the larger picture and become involved, as well..

Every month Girlfriends Films has one of its performers designate the recipient of a $1,000 charity donation. In Shelley’s memory I’m commandeering this month’s donation and designate that it be given to Cancer Research Institute. Why CRI? It’s hard to find a Girlfriends Films employee, customer, or anyone in our industry who hasn’t had a loved one devastated by this disease. Founded in 1953, CRI has proven itself in developing cures and bringing back health to cancer victims. .

Tasha Reign Selects CancerCare for Girlfriends Films’ August Charity

Performer / Director Tasha Reign chooses CancerCare as the recipient of Girlfriends Films’ August charity donation. CancerCare will receive $1,000 from Girlfriends Films, which Reign says will honor the memory of her father. Financial donations to the charity support cancer counseling, support groups, and financial assistance.

“My father passed away from Sarcoma cancer about three years ago, when I was just 21… He was my role model,” says Tasha Reign. “With the public donation to CancerCare, I hope to help raise awareness about the care given to cancer patients and how important it is to their recovery, or in the event of their passing, to their friends and family.”

Acting under the knowledge a cancer diagnosis can turn a person’s world upside down – emotionally, physically, and financially – CancerCare was created to help. The organization provides telephone, online, and face-to-face counseling, support groups, education, publications, and financial and co-payment assistance. Professional oncology social workers offer personalized care, while all of CancerCare’s services are free of charge.

Reign adds, “Support groups and counseling for a patient’s loved ones is pertinent in the overall care for cancer. Everyone is affected by the awful disease in one way or another, so I am honored for Girlfriends Films to donate to this amazing charity, which does so much.”
