Naughty Events Sets Record-Breaking Fundraiser for Sexual Freedom
We’re proud to announce our recent fundraising achievement of $25,550 for the National Coalition of Sexual Freedom (NCSF). We held a silent auction during our 25th Anniversary Naughty N'awlins convention in July 2023 and set a record for the largest fundraiser in NCSF’s history by auctioning off fabulous prizes that were donated by Lifestyle industry greats.
We know these funds will fight discrimination against people because of their sexual orientation.
"We are very proud of the successful fundraising effort between Naughty Events and all the donors who participated. As a long-time supporting Coalition Partner, former board member, and someone who believes in NCSF's mission, we will continue to support their organization and their work. There is no better way to support sexual freedom than with your pocketbook, and we are honored to be able to move the needle forward, knowing that these funds will go directly to programs that will advance sexual freedom in our country." said Bob Hannaford, CEO of Naughty Events
On a Mission for Equality
The NCSF is committed to creating a political, legal, and social environment in the US that advances equal rights for consenting adults who engage in alternative sexual and relationship expressions.
The NCSF aims to advance the rights of and advocate for consenting adults in the BDSM-Leather-Fetish, Swing, and Polyamory Communities. In conjunction with our partners, we pursue our vision through direct services, education, advocacy, and outreach to directly benefit these communities.
The Original Group
Our friends from the Original Group (producers of the Temptation & Desire Cruises) donated over $10,000 in prizes to be auctioned. Silvina Modolo, Cruise Sales Manager for Original Group, said, “It’s a pleasure to be able to participate in a fundraiser that raises money to protect the rights of our clients and helps move the needle forward when it comes to sexual freedom. Our cruises and resorts are the perfect place for people to express their own sexual freedom, and we are proud to help organizations like NCSF who continue to fight for people’s rights to be themselves.”
These donations raised a total of $12,525, which would have been a huge success, but there is more to this story.
Hedonism II Resort
Inspired by the palpable love of the community, Harry Lange, owner of Hedonism II, generously matched every winning bid, donating $12,525 to NCSF to bring the grand total to $25,050!
“I am proud to support the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom. We believe in a world where all consenting adults have the right to express their sexuality freely. We’re not just creating a pleasurable resort experience. We’re fostering a community where love, respect, and freedom are celebrated in all their beautiful forms,” said Harry Lange, Owner of Hedonism II. “We stand with the NCSF and everyone in the lifestyle, committed to creating a world where all consenting adults can live freely and openly. So, while we continue to host the best parties on the beach, remember, we’re also partying for a cause. We’re proud to support sexual freedom because, at Hedonism II, we understand that it’s all fun and games until someone’s rights get overlooked.”
Love from NCSF
"Thanks to Coalition Partners like Bob and Tess with Naughty Events and generous donors like Harry and Hedonism II who are willing to stand together, NCSF can continue the fight for adults to have the right to live the way they choose without the fear of discrimination, and gather at our events without the fear of reprisals," said Tess Zachary, NCSF Chairperson.
We hope all of our Naughty Members, attendees, and fans will join us by becoming a supporting member of NCSF by going to their website and joining. Supporting members can join for as little as $25, or you can step up like Naughty Events, Hedonism Resorts, Original Group, Kasidie, Sea Mountain Inn, The Swan Mountain, and World Exotic Travel and donate more.
