(LOS ANGELES / October 11, 2016) – Adult star, blogger and feminist advocate Tasha Reign has raised $10,000 in contributions so far to support 2016 AIDS Walk Los Angeles, taking place Sunday, October 23rd.
Reign’s donation to the 32nd annual 10k charity walk – the organization’s largest yet this year – will benefit APLA Health and 20 other L.A. County HIV service organizations, whose goal is to fight the spread of further infection and assist those struggling day-to-day with the disease.
“I’m so honored that my Reigndeer understand how important the fight against HIV is and have proven that!” said Reign. “It only motivates me to do more and raise more funds and awareness! Proud.”
Reign, a regular contributor to lifestyle outlets such as Huffington Post, Bro Bible, OC Weekly, Galore Magazine and more, has recently lent her philanthropic efforts to Strategy & Soul, a movement to revitalize and empower working class communities of color, and her political power in the adult industry to college campuses to protest California Prop 60, a state initiative requiring adult performers to wear condoms while shooting sex scenes.
