Sponsoring an athletic team is something many brands choose to do. From large corporations like Nike all the way to your local mom and pop shop, brands understand the value of logo and name recognition — and apparently, so does OnlyFans model Belle Grace.

The former healthcare worker turned adult film star has earned more than $2.5 million since she took on OnlyFans as a side hustle during the global Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. And now she’s using some of that money to support an amateur soccer team.

Supporting Charities FC from Bradford Park Avenue Football Club features former professionals, television actors, and other celebrities to raise money for charities — over a quarter of a million dollars already.

This isn’t just about charity, though.

Belle, originally from Sheffield, Yorkshire, decided to become their official shirt sponsor, complete with a link on the front of the shirt that will take you directly to her paid-for, X-rated content on the subscription-based platform, OnlyFans.

When discussing the decision to donate the money from her increasingly popular account, Belle referenced another OnlyFans creator, Bonnie Blue, whose made headlines recently. Belle said, “I haven’t had to sleep with 1,000 men to make money like Bonnie Blue. I’ve done it by simply being myself and, quite literally, just sleeping with my husband.”

She added: “Everyone assumes we don’t have real lives or values, but I’m the opposite. I’m using my success to give back, it’s about more than just the money—it’s about making a difference. There’s so much negativity around OnlyFans, but this is proof that it can be a force for good. I’ve worked hard to get where I am, and now I’m using that platform to support causes that matter.”

As for what the team thinks about the decision, their club manager Chris Moralee said: “One of the players is friends of Belle Grace and her partner and they mentioned they was interested in sponsoring one of our kits.

“I had no hesitation to welcome her on board – we rely on sponsors to help us get kits, club wear, footballs, and club equipment. With their kind sponsorship we are able to get the lads all kitted out in a fantastic new kit.”

It’s clear that the team and their manager are more than happy to accept the sponsorship, regardless of how the money is earned.

Moralee continued: “Belle’s sponsorship is a massive help in the club’s ability to support so many charities. Without her kind contribution and sponsorship we would not be able to support so many charities.”

As for whether or not the team will face any backlash from the decision, Moralee concluded his thoughts, adding: “People like Belle get a lot of bad press but she has used her financial gain to support us which obviously supports so many charities! Credit where it’s due – she didn’t have to get involved with the club but she has and others will only benefit from her gesture of sponsoring the kit.”

Will we see more OnlyFans model step up and become public sponsors in the future? It’s very possible.
