AI Overview
(Playboy’s) Hugh Hefner provided the initial seed funding for Mary Calderone’s organization, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), which she founded in the 1960s.
Hefner’s funding was instrumental in helping Calderone, a former medical director for PLANNED PARENTHOOD, establish SIECUS to promote sex education.
This relationship is a notable intersection of the two figures’ work in different spheres of public discourse on sexuality.
Good research!
