Pineapple Support Names Chaturbate's Shirley Lara as Treasurer

LOS ANGELES — Pineapple Support has named Chaturbate COO Shirley Lara as the organization's new treasurer.

"I’m beyond thrilled to be a part of Pineapple Support in any capacity, but especially as the new treasurer of such an important organization," Lara said. "Pineapple Support provides so many mental health services to anyone in the industry who needs them, that it’s an honor to be a part of such an amazing group."
