Titan Media, parent company of gay adult brands TitanMen, TitanMen Fresh, ManPlay and MSR Video, has told JRL that it is pleased to announce it has signed a 3-year contract with Folsom Street Events to become the Exclusive Gay Adult Studio at the Presenting Sponsor Level for the 2007-2009 Folsom Street Fair and Up Your Alley Fair seasons. This is the first time in the event’s 24-year history that an adult studio has contributed at this level. TitanMen will headline alongside the two other Presenting Level sponsors, Miller Beer and NakedSword.Folsom Street Events is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that produces volunteer-driven events for the global adult alternative lifestyle community. Comprised almost entirely of volunteers, the organization donates net proceeds to elected San Francisco Bay Area charities and beyond.

According to Demetri Moshoyannis, Executive Director of Folsom Street Events, “We are proud to create this special philanthropic relationship with Titan Media. 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.”
As part of the agreement, Titan Media will also create a co-branded TitanMen/Folsom line of hardcore leather/fetish films that will be designated the “Exclusive Leather/Fetish Films of the Folsom Street Fair”. A portion of sales from the line of DVDs will be donated to the newly formed TitanMen/Folsom Fund. The fund will support non-profit organizations specializing in gay men’s health and education. Titan Media has guaranteed a minimum yearly contribution of $20,000 to finance the fund.
“Titan Media is proud to be supporting and partnering with the world’s largest non-profit organization dedicated to the leather/fetish community,” says Keith Webb, Vice President of Titan Media.
“As part of our continued leadership in and support of the leather/fetish community, we felt it was important to stand up and put our money where our mouths are. We hope to lead by example and influence others in the adult business community to be more financially generous with their support of non-profit community based organizations.”
