HOLLYWOOD. Calif.—A fundraiser for the Licensed Adult Talent Agency Trade Association (LATATA) and the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation (AIM Healthcare) will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 9 p.m., at Les Deux Nightclub in Hollywood.
Recently, in the wake of the "Patient Zero" case, AIM Healthcare Foundation was the target of aggressive actions by the Los Angeles County Department of Health (LACDH) and the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal-OSHA). Both of these organizations began inspecting and probing three licensed talent agencies, seeking to obtain records on their producer clients and demanding the disgorgement of such records under the threat of issuance of citations for minor workplace violations. The talent agencies did not give in to these attacks and instead hired attorneys and united behind LATATA to protect themselves and the industry.
As a result of these pressures, AIM Healthcare has become embroiled in a number of time-consuming and expensive lawsuits to defend its existence and protect its performer clients and their private medical records from governmental intrusion.
This fundraiser will help the adult industry in its fight against efforts to shut down AIM Healthcare and, in effect, the adult industry in general. These proposed governmental obstructions would affect everyone in the industry: production companies, agencies, talent, studios, etc.
Nine agencies have joined forces to help raise extra money for this cause: L.A. Direct Models, GoldStar Modeling, Adult Talent Managers, Lisa Ann’s Talent Management, Spiegler Girls, Type 9 Models, World Modeling, A-List Talent and Foxxx Modeling.
This red-carpet event, hosted by representatives from each of the adult agencies, will be a star-studded featuring a veritable who’s who of adult-industry performers.
Door proceeds for this event will be split equally between LATATA and AIM— donations to AIM alone at the event are most welcome and can be made with checks payable to AIM Healthcare Foundation.
Anonymous donations can be made online via the AIM website, or mail checks directly to AIM Healthcare Foundation, 4630 Van Nuys Blvd., Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 or by calling the AIM office with a credit card.
All donations are tax deductible, as AIM Healthcare Foundation is a California Non-Profit Benefit Corporation, Federal Status 501(c)(3).
Les Deux Nightclub is located at 1638 N. Las Palmas Ave., Hollywood, CA 90028. Red carpet is at 9 p.m. For more information, email [email protected].
