Skin in the Game Award
On April 30, 2025, Intact America proudly hosted its inaugural Skin in the Game Award in New York City, honoring artist and activist Alan Cumming for his bold advocacy in celebrating the natural male body and defending children’s right to genital autonomy.
The event marked a breakthrough moment for the intactivist movement, uniting longtime advocates and new voices in a powerful evening of stories, connection, and shared purpose.
Thanks to the passion and generosity of our community, we raised nearly $150,000 to support our ongoing efforts to end the harm of circumcision through education and advocacy. To all our attendees, sponsors, volunteers, and staff: thank you for making this moment possible, and for proving we all have Skin in the Game.

Alan Cumming is beyond eclectic, with a career straddling decades, continents, genres and boundaries.
His many theatre triumphs range from iconic performances as diverse as the Emcee in Cabaret to nearly all the parts in Macbeth, to touring the world with solo cabaret shows, the most recent of which is entitled Uncut; his filmography weaves seamlessly between blockbuster and art house; he is a #1 New York Times best-selling memoirist and the author of six other books; he has had huge television success in dramas like The Good Wife and most recently as the Emmy-winning host of Peacock’s The Traitors.
As an activist and philanthropist, he has worked extensively for animal rights (as seen in the recent HBO documentary ‘Chimp Crazy’), many LGBTQ+ organizations, and in the fields of mental health, sex education, reproductive rights and anti-circumcision. He owns his own cabaret bar in downtown NYC, Club Cumming, and is the newly appointed artistic director of the Pitlochry Festival Theatre in his homeland of Scotland.
