Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women Gala Sets Co-Hosts

Kering Foundation is finalizing the details for the fifth installment of its Caring for Women dinner.

Set to take place in New York at The Pool on Sept. 10, the event will be led once again by founding co-hosts Salma Hayek Pinault and François-Henri Pinault with a roster that includes Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Benicio Del Toro, Nacho Figueras, Dakota Johnson and Lorna Simpson. The event, which will raise funds for organizations that work to end gender-based violence, will feature a (to-be-announced) special performance as well as a live auction of one-of-a-kind items and experiences from Kering’s fashion houses like Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato and Ginori 1735. This fall’s installment follows last year’s event, which raised more than $4.5 million for the cause.

“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,” said Pinault, chairman of both Kering and the Kering Foundation. “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.”
