LOS ANGELES—Channel 1 Releasing has announced that nearly $1,400 was raised from adult retailer Naughty Time Novelties' two Valentine’s Day virtual fundraising events, which featured cock rings, paddles, rabbits, bullets, massage oils and lubricants amongst other pleasure products. The funds will be donated to the Arcadia Collective, a Michigan-based nonprofit.
The events, which were held February 13 and 14, included trivia contests and raffles, as well as representatives from several manufacturing companies: Boneyard Toys, Viben Toys, XR Brands and System Jo joined in the fun and games.
Explained Arcadia Collective president Jett Khat, “The Arcadia Collective is a nonprofit organization based around a network of like-minded individuals, artists and local businesses all working together to create a healthier community for themselves and others. We do everything in our power to keep our community fed, clothed, educated, and most of all, give people a place to call home. We are a family and we care for each other like one.”
The proceeds from the events will go toward helping the Arcadia Collective reopen its office space that's been closed for almost a year due to the COVID-19 executive orders in Michigan.
The next Naughty Time Novelties event is scheduled for April 26, 2021, beginning at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT, and will be sponsored by We-Vibe, Womanizer, ArcWave, Romp and Pjur.
