"I support Cancer Research Institute, as I hope one day there are cures for all forms of cancer," says Cindy. "I have lost several close family members and friends to breast, lung, kidney and bone cancer, so the cure is a cause very dear to me."


Cindy continues, "I've been shooting with Girlfriends Films for over 4 years now. They were the first company I ever performed for, and I've felt privileged to work with them as much as I have over the years. They create a comfortable work atmosphere and are always respectful of the models. Their values and work ethic carry over to their philanthropic work, helping to better the world we live in with their amazing charity program."

 Girlfriends Films calls on its strong community of fans and followers to join in the fight against cancer. Donations of all sizes may be made directly to CRI at http://www.cancerresearch.org/give/ways-to-donate/.

"Due to the large number of people affected by cancer, I believe we will see our largest response to date with October's Cancer Research Institute donation. Giving to CRI helps us get one step closer to a world without cancer."

Cindy most recently appears in Girlfriends Films' "Women Seeking Women 73," "Net Skirts 3.0," "Road Queen 15," "Lesbian Seductions 32" and "Lesbian Triangles 14."

Girlfriends Films & Newcomer Trinity St. Clair Donate $1000 to Life 4 Paws

July's Charity Donation Promotes the Animal Rescue Message of New Series "Strays"

As part of our monthly charity program, Girlfriends Films is donating $1000 to Life 4 Paws on behalf of newcomer Trinity St. Clair (see more photos in our 'New Girls' pages). Life 4 Paws is a non-profit organization in California's San Fernando Valley pro- viding animal rescue, placement and education services.

Those of you who follow Girlfriends Films know that animal rescue is a cause very dear to our heart, as evidenced by our new series "Strays". According to Trinity, "I believe there's a pet out there for everyone! I recently moved to LA on my own not knowing anyone! I'm just a small town girl in a big city. One can become lonely in such a big place, and I turned to Life 4 Paws.
I highly recommend Life 4 Paws because the animals are well taken care of as the organization finds it a home! The day before I was to pick out my cat from Life 4 Paws, I had a Girlfriends Films shoot. When I arrived at our location, it turned out to be the same home I was to visit the next day for the adoption. Fate! I met my cat LuLu and fell in love with her as she purred in my arms. She was the one for me! Thanks to Life 4 Paws, a perfect match was made and another animal placed in a safe haven. Also, thank you to Kelly Holland (Penthouse of Penthouse Studios) because it was her house we filmed at and where I met LuLu."
The donation to Life 4 Paws is also in support of the 2nd annual Vice Is Nice party thrown by Kelly at her beautiful home that is often used by GFF for its productions. Vice Is Nice is a casino night and poker tournament raising money for animal rescues, while promoting awareness within the adult entertainment industry and beyond. A supporter of the event's debut last year, Girlfriends Films decided to make an even greater contribution in 2011.
The Vice Is Nice party is July 23 in Chatsworth, California. Anyone can attend. Tickets for the event are $15 through pre-registration and $25 at the door. For more information and to RSVP, visit http://events. r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=xrv6qlcab&oeidk=a07e336uie07e408b3a&oseq=a001fetgl20a.
Girlfriends Films has a long history of charitable contributions, having donated over $20,000 in 2010 alone. We recently restructured our charity program from an annual end-of-year donation to an ongoing, monthly program.

Life 4 Paws is dedicated to supporting the adoption and rescue of shelter animals here in California's San Fernando Valley, home to Girlfriends offices as well as to many of our employees and performers. The non-profit organization focues on rescue, placement and education within the local community. Life 4 Paws chose West Valley Animal Shelter as its partner in the "Adopt-A-Shelter" program. Adopting a pet is a wonderful and giving act. Because it is a commitment to another being for the rest of its life, the organi- zation wants to make sure people understand the responsibilities and commitment needed for pet care on a daily basis.
