Colman Domingo has been confirmed as the emcee for Kering’s fifth annual Caring for Women Dinner, scheduled for September 10 at The Pool in New York City. He will be joined by Paris Hilton, who is set to DJ the after-party, which adds an exciting element to this philanthropic gathering. This event signifies not only a celebration of contributions to the arts and entertainment but also a crucial effort in combating gender-based violence, as it aims to raise vital funds for several organizations supporting this cause.
The Caring for Women Dinner serves a dual purpose: raising funds for initiatives countering gender-based violence and uniting influential figures across various sectors. Kering Foundation chairman François-Henri Pinault has underscored the significance of this gathering. The beneficiaries for this year include Activating Change, Fondo Semillas, JBWS, and The New York Women’s Foundation. The event is committed to raising awareness and mobilizing support for organizations dedicated to eradicating violence against women. Last year's event significantly contributed to this cause, raising over $4.5 million, demonstrating the power of community action.
Colman Domingo, a talented actor, writer, director, and producer, adds substantial star power to the event. Recognized for his work, he has received two Academy Award nominations and is a prominent figure in the film industry. His previous involvement in philanthropic efforts includes co-chairing the 2025 Met Gala, benefiting The Costume Institute, further showcasing his commitment to significant social issues.
This year, the dinner will feature notable co-hosts such as Salma Hayek Pinault, Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Dakota Johnson, and several others, emphasizing a unified commitment to this crucial issue. Their participation not only highlights the importance of the cause but also encourages greater engagement from diverse sectors, encompassing fashion, film, art, sports, and philanthropy. Their collective presence aims to impact fundraising efforts and enhance visibility around the crisis of gender-based violence.
One of the highlights of the event is a live auction featuring luxury items from esteemed fashion houses under Kering, including Gucci, Saint Laurent, and Balenciaga. Additionally, a new online silent auction will be accessible to the public, expanding the opportunity for a broader audience to participate in this important fundraising initiative. This allows more individuals to contribute to a cause that directly supports vulnerable communities and helps raise awareness.
The Caring for Women Dinner represents a pivotal moment not only for advocacy against gender-based violence but also in promoting cultural figures like Colman Domingo and Paris Hilton who are committed to philanthropy. Through the collaboration of high-profile co-hosts and an array of luxurious auction items, the dinner aims to elevate public awareness and foster community engagement. The continued support from influential figures in both the entertainment and philanthropic sectors is crucial for mobilizing resources and inspiring action against gender-based violence.
