Salma Hayek Pinault, François-Henri Pinault, Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Benicio Del Toro, Nacho Figueras, Dakota Johnson and Lorna Simpson will co-host the Kering Foundation’s fifth annual Caring for Women Dinner.
This year’s event, taking place Sept. 10 at The Pool in New York City to coincide with the star of Fashion Week, will benefit Activating Change, Fondo Semillas, JBWS and the New York Women’s Foundation.
The evening will feature a special performance and a live auction of luxury items and experiences from Kering’s fashion houses, including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato and Ginori 1735.
Last year’s dinner raised more than $4.5 million for organizations working to end gender-based violence.
“Salma and I created the Caring for Women Dinner to raise essential funds for organizations working to end gender-based violence and to mobilize a broader community around this critical mission at the heart of the Kering Foundation’s work,” Kering and Kering Foundation chairman François-Henri Pinault said Tuesday. “As we mark its fifth edition, the dinner stands as a powerful reminder of what this community can achieve when it comes together with purpose.”
The foundation was created in 2008 and partners with non-profits in six countries to end gender-based violence through survivor-centered services and prevention programs. It mobilizes its networks to take action, create awareness and raise funds to end violence against women and children.
