SEATTLE—Starting this month and going forward into perpetuity, Yanks.com will be donating a portion of all new sales to Call to Safety. Call to Safety is an Oregon-based non-profit that works to ensure that everyone has a life free of domestic and sexual violence.
In a statement about the partnership YanksCash CEO Billie said: “Todd and I, our employees and our models believe it to be a moral imperative that every business gives back to the communities that support it. Adult companies are no different. For us one of those communities is obvious: women. Without our photographers and our beautiful, strong, open-minded Yanks Girls, our site would not be possible. For many years, the environment was not friendly to giving back to that community in a meaningful way. 2016 however has finally given us that opportunity. Our entire company is proud to be able to leverage our brand and our fans to give to an organization that works to empower women and protect all the victims of domestic and sexual violence.”
Rebecca of Call to Safety explained why they are working with Yanks directly: “We’re partnering with Yanks because we appreciate their commitment to the empowerment and safety of women. The world needs more solid businesses that contribute to the greater good and Yanks is doing just that.”
Call to Safety, originally the Portland Women’s Crisis Line (PWCL), was one of the first five sexual violence crisis lines in the United States. Throughout the years they have expanded their programs that now include their 24/7 Crisis Line, Sexual Assault Program, Community Outreach & Education and Sex Industry Outreach.
Call to Safety is not just a social service agency; it was also founded as a social change organization. They believe that domestic and sexual violence are widespread in our society. Their purpose is to not only to empower those who experience violence, but also to end the oppression and violence which causes people to seek out their services.
The enthusiasm for this partnership has spread beyond Yanks and Call to Safety. Feminist amateur model and regular Yanks Girl Jessica shared her thoughts on the relationship: "I'm always seeking ways to eliminate the taboo of female sexuality by empowering women through my work. However, it's important to realize that women face severe forms of domestic and sexual violence every day. That's why I'm extremely proud to work with a production company that has the same values that I do, by supporting an organization that seeks to provide support and resources for these women."
Like-minded affiliates of Yanks such as Sssh.com have also pledged to be ongoing supporters of the philanthropy through regularly focused campaigns.
"We at Yanks, through our own personal experiences with domestic violence, share the passion to empower the victims of domestic and sexual violence," the company said.
