LOS ANGELES – Prolific adult performer James Deen will donate 50 percent of his websites’ October profits to three nonprofit charities assisting in breast cancer prevention, treatment and research.

Coinciding with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Oct. 1-31), the effort will benefit Living Beyond Breast Cancer, National Breast Cancer Foundation, and The Rose.

“I know far too many people who have been plagued by and/or died from cancer,” Deen said. “A member of my family, as well as a close family friend, had breast cancer. One beat it; the other didn’t. I could say the same about a lot of different forms of cancer.

“I feel like a campaign against any form of cancer is a fight against all cancer, which is why I’m throwing my support specifically behind Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” he added. “The research I did shows most people are willing to contribute to breast cancer charities, so hopefully it is how we can have the most impact. My goal with donating profits from my sites is to fight cancer—any cancer; al cancer. I don’t like cancer.”

Each October marks National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 31 days dedicated to a variety of activities and fundraisers increasing awareness of the disease. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. Those whose cancer is detected early have a 98-percent survival rate after five years.

The websites involved in the effort are JamesDeen.com and JamesDeenStore.com.
