YNOT – As a result of the Friday Night Heat fundraiser during the Phoenix Forum, gay affiliate program Next Door Buddy Profits was able to make a $7,100 donation to the Until There’s a Cure foundation. Founded in 1993 and based in Redwood City, Calif., UNTIL is a national nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and funds to combat HIV/AIDS.

According to Next Door Entertainment President Stephan Sirard, the entire donation resulted from a special auction that allowed attendees to bid on the underwear worn by the gay adult stars who performed during the event.

“We are so pleased to see that an organization such as Until There’s a Cure exists, and we are looking forward to hosting more fabulous events to support this worthwhile organization,” Sirard said. “I want to thank all of the organizers of the Phoenix Forum and [menswear designer] Timoteo, who contributed greatly to making this year’s event a success.”

Hosted in the Next Door Buddy Profits lounge, the Friday Night Heat event included live performances by 20 gay adult models provided by Next Door Studios, Baileey’s Productions, FabScout, Pacific Blue Agency and Adult Models USA.
