J’apprends ce matin par voie de presse spécialisé que le studio TitanMedia a fait don d’un chèque de 25000 US dollars (environ 17 200 euros). Cette somme récolté par l’association TitanMen/Folsom Fund va permettre à 5 hôpitaux de bénéficier de liquidités complémentaires pour la recherche contre le sida et l’amélioration des infrastructures.
Les années 2006 et 2007 ont été très bonnes en terme de vente pour les studios Titan et MSR. Un don tiré de ce bénéfice n’est qu’à encourager et à saluer.

Extrait (en Anglais) du communiqué de Presse: (San Francisco, November 16, 2007) Titan Media, parent company of gay adult brands TitanMen, TitanMen Fresh, ManPlay and MSR Video, is pleased to announce it has donated a total of $25,000 to Folsom Street Events and established the TitanMen/Folsom Fund. The majority of the $25,000 goes towards establishing the TitanMen/Folsom Fund, and the remainder goes to underwrite the costs of producing Up Your Alley and Folsom Street Fair.
The new TitanMen/Folsom Fund will support non-profit organizations specializing in gay men’s health and education across the nation and will be wholly administered by Folsom Street Events. Folsom Street Events will match this money with additional national grants, so the 2007 national grants program will give out a total of $27,500.
This year’s recipients of grants from the TitanMen/Folsom Fund are:
St. James Infirmary (San Francisco) – HIV prevention, testing and harm reduction for sex workers.
L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center (Los Angeles) – HIV prevention programs.
Gay City (Seattle) – HIV prevention and testing programs.
Howard Brown Health Center (Chicago) Youth-oriented HIV prevention and testing programs.
Gay and Lesbian Community Center of South Florida (Fort Lauderdale) – HIV prevention and testing programs.
« As a leader within the gay adult industry, TitanMen is proud to be one of the largest studio contributors to non-profit organizations specializing in gay men’s health and education, » says Bruce Cam, Founder and CEO of Titan Media. « We have been able to show that protection and profit can go hand-in-hand by producing the best-selling gay adult films in the world while still maintaining a condom only/safer sex policy. The greatest gift we can give back to the community is the portrayal of safer sex and the use of condoms in our films. The value of a single human life is worth more than any amount of money we could ever contribute. »
According to Demetri Moshoyannis, Executive Director of Folsom Street Events, « We are proud to have created this special philanthropic relationship and partnership with Titan Media. With this partnership, we have been able to raise and distribute more grant money than we have in the past. This year, Folsom Street Events gave away $350,066 to charity, our biggest and most successful year in our 24-year history. »
Titan Media has created a co-branded TitanMen/Folsom line of hardcore leather/fetish films that have been designated the « Exclusive Leather/Fetish Films of the Folsom Street Fair ». A portion of sales from the co-branded DVDs finances the grants. The first film in the series, Folsom Filth, won « Best Specialty Film-Extreme » at the 2006 GAYVN Awards, and was followed by the hugely successful and best-selling films Folsom Leather and FEAR. Due to the overwhelming success of the films, Titan Media was able to exceed its guaranteed minimum contribution of $20,000 by $5,000, for a total contribution of $25,000 to Folsom Street Events for 2007.
