SAN FRANCISCO - Titan Media has signed a three-year contract with Folsom Street Events to be become the exclusive gay adult studio at the Presenting Sponsor Level for the Folsom Street Fair and the Up Your Alley Fair starting this year. This marks the first time in the event’s 24-year history that an adult studio has been a Presenting Sponsor (Titan will join Miller Beer and NakedSword).
Folsom Street Events is a nonprofit comprised nearly entirely of volunteers. The organization donates net proceeds from its events to selected charities. Demetri Moshoyannis, Executive Director of Folsom Street Events, said, "With this partnership, we hope to raise and distribute more grant money than we have in the past. Last year, Folsom Street Events gave away $301,512 to charity, and I believe we can exceed that amount with the help of Titan Media and our generous sponsors."
"Titan Media is proud to be supporting and partnering with the world’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to the leather/fetish community," said Keith Webb, Vice President of Titan Media. "We hope to lead by example and influence others in the adult business community to be more financially generous with their support of nonprofit community-based organizations."
As part of the agreement, Titan will create a TitanMen/Folsom series of hardcore leather/fetish films that will carry the banner "Exclusive Leather/Fetish Films of the Folsom Street Fair," a portion from the sales of which will go to the newly created TitanMen/Folsom Fund, which will help nonprofits that specialize in gay men’s health and education. Additionally, Titan has promised to contribute at least $20,000 a year to the fund.
