Palm Springs Leather Pride is a four-day event with cruise parties, pool parties, dress leather events, all culminating in the Mr. Palm Springs Leather contest. Palm Springs, Calif., in fall is the perfect season for this yearly event.
The four contestants this year represented area bars and venues and included Jax Kelly, Mr. CCBC Leather 2018; Tom Schneck, Mr. Barracks Leather 2018; Tony Dewain, Mr. Toolshed Leather 2018; and Dan Carman, Mr. Off Ramp Leathers 2018.
Palm Springs Leather Pride 2017 was organized and produced by volunteers and members of Palm Springs Leather Order of the Desert, a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation and a leather/SM/fetish social, educational, support and charitable organization. They promote with power and pride the right of all adults to engage in safe, sane, and consensual sexual expression and orientation.
Proceeds from the events are donated to other local or national nonprofits. Over the past 23 years, they have raised or donated over $250,000 to the AIDS Assistance Program, Desert AIDS Project, Desert Women for Equality Mammogram Program, and Well in the Desert, to name a few.
