The Kering Foundation is hosting a high-profile dinner this September to benefit three organizations dedicated to ending gender-based violence.
The foundation revealed plans for its first “Caring for Women” dinner in New York on Wednesday. Dinner is held at The Pool, Park Avenue’s iconic restaurant location, on September 15, the day after the conclusion of New York Fashion Week. Anderson Cooper will host the event, which will be co-chaired by Kering CEO and President François-Henri Pinault and wife Salma Hayek Pinault, Gisele Bundchen, Latanya Richardson Jackson and Samuel L. Jackson, including artists Julie Mehretu and Gloria Steinem. The evening will support the National Network to End Domestic Violence, the Global Fund for Women, and the Ms Foundation for Women.
“Kering and its Houses stand in active opposition to all forms of violence against women and now more than ever, the Kering Foundation is determined in its mission to create a world where women can live freely in physical and psychological security. ,” Pinault said, in a statement announcing the dinner. “The Caring for Women dinner represents a milestone in our 14-year history, partnering with front-line organizations that support female survivors to escape violence and rebuild their lives.”
An additional co-host and cast are yet to be announced for the program.
