Our Causes

Ovarian Cancer Awareness

In 2018, Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Ohio Board of Directors President Kim Britt and Ali Dunlap of the Lions Den Events Team met at Girl’s Night Out at Hollywood Casino. They came together to share positivity that Ovarian Cancer does not mean your sexual life is over while helping to break stigmatisms and normalize the conversation of sexual health. Lions Den joined the Ovarian Cancer Alliance in multiple events, including the Strides for Hope 5k.

Since then, we have raised and donated over $175,000 to The Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Ohio. We contribute yearly to their fundraisers, like the Strides for Hope 5K, Designer Bag Bingo, and we were the primary sponsor for their 10th Anniversary Gala in 2021. Lion's Den received the contribution award from OCAO in 2020 for our round up at the register campaign where we raised $53,621 for them that time.

Testicular Cancer Awareness

We are April charity partners with the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation. Generous customers rounded up their purchases in-store and online in April, and we are thrilled to share that we raised $36,800 for testicular cancer awareness!

Testicular cancer is the leading  cancer in men aged 15-44 but can strike at any age. By supporting the Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation, Lion’s Den is helping to provide education about testicular cancer and support fighters, survivors, and caregivers. Early detection is the easiest way to beat testicular cancer. Learn more about the disease and how to perform a monthly self-exam. Click here for the self exam guide.

The Cupcake Girls

Proud to partner with The Cupcake Girls to help them provide confidential support to those involved in the sex industry, as well as trauma-informed outreach, advocacy, holistic resources, and referral services to provide prevention and aftercare to those affected by sex trafficking.

ASACP - Title Sponsor of Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection

The ASACP is dedicated to protecting children online from being exposed to age-restricted material. They provide a secure, anonymous reporting system and foster communication and cooperation with our online adult industry. The ASACP educates members, the online adult industry, the public, and government policymakers about child protection, illegal online activities, and battles child sexual abuse online. We have proudly been a corporate Title Sponsor for the ASACP since 2006.

RTA – Restricted To Adults

We are a proud sponsor of RTA, created by the ASACP to better enable parental filtering. This label demonstrates our commitment to helping parents prevent children from viewing age-inappropriate content. Our website has been correctly labeled as “Restricted to Adults”.

Free Speech Coalition

Social justice is a very large part of who we are. We have a number of campaigns for every body, including Sexy is for Every Body, In is the New Out, and “Life” by Lion’s Den. These campaigns highlight our belief that everyone deserves to feel comfortable and be themselves. It’s our duty to break down social stigma that have unfortunately halted the forward progress of sexual health and social justice. With our campaigns, we continue to bring open and accepting discussions to help everyone feel safe and comfortable with who they are and encourage them to help break down barriers.

The Lion’s Den has been a staunch advocate of free speech work since our inception. As supporters of the Free Speech Coalition, we believe in protecting the First and Fourteenth Amendments, helping prevent efforts to interfere with the right of Lion's Den clients to receive constitutionally protected expression, free speech, and thought.
