The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is pleased to honor industry leaders Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and AWSummit as its Featured Sponsors for September 2025.

For over 29 years, ASACP, a member- and sponsor-supported nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting online child safety, has proactively protected children from online harm by fostering corporate and parental responsibility. It receives financial and material support from a family of leading digital media companies and support services, as well as organizations, caring individuals, and other stakeholders, including its monthly honor roll of featured sponsors.

ASACP’s featured sponsors are highly respected industry leaders recognized for their significant contributions to corporate responsibility, ethical business practices, and the implementation of procedural and technical measures to ensure child safety. These measures aim to protect minors and other vulnerable users from accidental exposure to age-restricted materials online, ensuring the safety and innocence of children as they go about their daily digital lives.

ASACP’s Executive Director, Tim Henning, thanks Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and AWSummit for their ongoing support and sincerely appreciates the association’s dedicated sponsors for their vital role in building a safer future through their online child protection initiatives.

“Our sponsors’ dedication to age assurance helps protect the innocence of youth,” he said. “The free tools, education, and outreach ASACP provides wouldn’t be possible without their generous support. Together, we’re making a real difference!”

These tools encompass free child protection resources for parents, Best Practices tailored to specific adult market segments, and a comprehensive Code of Ethics for all website and mobile app publishers. Such vital resources help empower companies of all sizes to prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content.

Among ASACP’s most notable achievements are its RTA (Restricted To Adults) meta-labeling system, which prevents children from accessing adult-oriented web pages and apps, and its CSAM Reporting Tipline, which has received and processed 1.6 million reports since its inception and remains a vital global resource.

The association’s family of industry leaders, including September’s Featured Sponsors — Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and AWSummit — is crucial in making our tools and services accessible to the broader community.

Lion’s Den

Lion’s Den has been a proud Title Sponsor of ASACP since 2006, underscoring its longstanding commitment to protecting children from exploitation and shielding minors from inappropriate adult content. Since its beginnings in 1971 in Columbus, Ohio, Lion’s Den has built a reputation as a trusted provider of adult toys, lingerie, massage oils, and intimacy resources — offering a secure, responsible, and stigma-free shopping experience both in-store and online at LionsDen.com.

Beyond retail, Lion’s Den is deeply engaged in the communities it serves. The company partners with colleges and universities nationwide to support sexual health education, works alongside organizations raising awareness for ovarian and testicular cancer, and collaborates with nonprofits combating human trafficking. Lion’s Den also proudly supports free speech and social acceptance campaigns, helping dismantle stigma and empower individuals to embrace intimacy and wellness with confidence.

“We are honored to support ASACP’s mission of protecting children from exploitation,” said Lion’s Den CEO Michael Moran. “Community engagement, education, and responsibility are at the heart of who we are — and we’re proud to stand alongside ASACP in shaping a safer and more accountable industry.”

Kate’s Tube

Since 2019, KatesTube.com has proudly stood as a Corporate Sponsor of the Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) — a partnership that reflects the company’s commitment to fostering a safer, more responsible internet for everyone.

“We’re proud to support ASACP in their mission to keep the internet a safer place for children and a cleaner, more trustworthy space for adults,” said a company spokesperson. “Although we don’t produce content ourselves, we take site oversight seriously. Our team regularly reviews the platform to ensure full compliance with legal requirements, including 18 U.S. Code § 2257.”

The company emphasizes its ongoing dedication to safety, transparency, and ethical operation across its entire network. In recent years, Kate’s Tube has expanded its internal resources to bolster security, elevate content standards, and stay ahead of evolving industry regulations.

“Our goal is to set a higher standard — not just for our own site, but across the adult industry as a whole,” the spokesperson added. “We believe a clean, secure, and well-managed platform benefits everyone — users, partners, and the broader online community.”

By deepening its support for ASACP, Kate’s Tube hopes to lead by example and inspire other adult platforms to take meaningful action.

“We encourage our peers in the adult industry to join us in supporting organizations like ASACP,” the spokesperson concluded. “Together, we can continue making a real impact when it comes to online child protection and ethical content practices.”

AWSummit

ASACP’s newest In-Kind Media Sponsor, AWSummit, is a leading conference for affiliates and creators that transforms opportunities into success. Having organized top-tier B2B conferences, international side events, and custom corporate events since 2014, AWSummit has a proven track record.

Specializing in designing high-impact experiences that help businesses expand their networks to achieve growth, AWSummit has attracted over 20,000 industry professionals in the past decade, helping close thousands of deals that have driven millions in revenue growth. Designed as a hub for sharing ideas, knowledge, and building business relationships over three days, AWSummit offers keynote speeches, workshops, mastermind sessions, an expo, and networking events. Its next event is scheduled for September 8-10 in Bucharest.

“At AWSummit, you can share and get knowledge from top affiliates about the challenges and solutions related to different traffic sources, and find new ways to optimize and scale your affiliate business,” said an event spokesperson. “While as a content creator, you’ll have the opportunity to exchange experiences with other models and influencers, discover the best platforms for collaboration, and explore new ways to monetize your content.”

Henning expressed gratitude to Lion’s Den, Kate’s Tube, and AWSummit for their continued support, generosity, and leadership in helping the association achieve its goal of preventing children from accessing or participating in creating adult content.

“The association’s sponsors play an active role in shaping the industry and are committed to safeguarding children’s online safety — a shared responsibility for all,” Henning concluded. “ASACP’s sponsors and members are essential in creating a safer environment for consenting adults, while also protecting society’s most vulnerable individuals from online harm.”
