The Kering Foundation is set to host its fifth annual Caring for Women gala on September 10 in New York. Founding co-hosts Salma Hayek Pinault and François-Henri Pinault will lead the event, which aims to raise funds for organizations dedicated to ending gender-based violence. The star-studded lineup includes Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Benicio Del Toro, and Dakota Johnson.
Purpose of the Caring for Women Gala
The Caring for Women dinner is designed to mobilize support for critical initiatives aimed at combating gender-based violence. As Pinault stated, "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." This year’s event will also include a live auction featuring exclusive items from renowned fashion houses.
Fundraising Goals and Featured Organizations
The funds raised during the gala will benefit several organizations, including:
- Activating Change: Focused on ending violence against people with disabilities.
- Fondo Semillas: A nonprofit in Mexico supporting women’s groups for gender equality.
- JBWS (Jersey Battered Women’s Service): Dedicated to preventing domestic violence in New Jersey.
- New York Women’s Foundation: Empowers women and girls to achieve economic security.
Last year, the event raised over $4.5 million for these vital causes, showcasing the community's commitment to addressing gender-based violence.

This year’s gala will feature a special performance yet to be announced, alongside a live auction that promises unique experiences and items from Kering’s luxury brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Balenciaga.
