Pineapple Support and Falcon/NakedSword Raise $50,000 for Men’s Mental Health with Star-Studded Event and Campaign

/in , , /by

Pineapple Support, the adult industry’s leading mental health non-profit, partnered with Falcon/NakedSword in November for a powerful initiative in support of Men’s Mental Health Month. The collaboration raised an incredible $52,000 through a social media awareness campaign and the glamorous Ms. Pineapple Cabaret, held in Palm Springs.

The event, which featured leading adult creators and world-class cabaret performers, was a celebration of resilience, vulnerability, and community. All proceeds from the Ms. Pineapple Cabaret went directly to Pineapple Support, helping to fund free and low-cost mental health services for adult industry professionals.

“Our fifth annual Mx. Pineapple event was our most meaningful and successful yet, raising more than $50,000 to support mental health services for adult performers and industry professionals,” said Falcon | NakedSword President and CEO Tim Valenti. “What made the evening particularly special was the overwhelming sense of community: Celebrity hosts, A-list entertainers, and beloved performers coming together in Palm Springs, surrounded by a sold-out, standing-room-only crowd, all united by a shared commitment to care for each other. 

Throughout the month, Falcon/NakedSword and Pineapple Support shared heartfelt messages, stories of strength, and honest conversations across their platforms. The campaign aimed to raise awareness of the unique challenges men face regarding mental health, particularly in adult entertainment, while encouraging open dialogue and reminding performers that support is available.

“Men’s mental health is a crucial issue that too often goes unaddressed, especially in the adult entertainment industry,” says Leya Tanit, founder and CEO of Pineapple Support. “Through our partnership with Falcon/NakedSword, we’ve been able to use our platform to foster open dialogue, provide resources, and remind men that they are not alone in their struggles.”

Pineapple Support was founded by British performer Leya Tanit in 2018, after a string of losses in the adult industry from depression and other mental illnesses. The organization, a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States, has connected over 18,000 adult performers to mental health services, including free and low-cost therapy, counseling, and emotional support.

“This outpouring of generosity will directly help PineappleSupport.org to continue its essential work providing life-changing mental health resources to those who need them most,” said Valenti. “We are deeply grateful to our co-presenting sponsor, Mr. Man; our platinum sponsors Flirt4Free, Streamate, and Fleshjack; our gold sponsors ASGmax, No Monkeys, Chaturbate, MENatPLAY, GayVN, Erotik, Clips4Sale, Say Uncle, and Grooby; and our community partners, including Eight4Nine Restaurant & Lounge, Desert AIDS Project, CCBC Resort Hotel, Fort Troff, and Swiss Navy. Their support and belief in this mission make this work possible.”

Pineapple Support and Falcon | NakedSword are already planning a bigger and expanded Mx. Pineapple event in 2026. Those interested in getting involved or learning more should contact Toby J Morris, Falcon | NakedSword VP Business Development & Marketing.
