The Kering Foundation is returning to The Pool for its fourth annual Caring for Women dinner. The foundation will host the VIP event, which raises support for organizations working to end gender-based violence against women, at the midtown venue during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 11. “To ensure that women and children can live free from gender-based violence, we must commit to providing survivors with the resources and support necessary to rebuild their lives with autonomy and safety,” said Kering CEO and chairman François-Henri Pinault, also chairman of the Kering Foundation, which was founded in 2008. The event is supported by Kering-owned fashion houses including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Boucheron, Pomellato and Ginori 1735.

This September, Madonna herself will be in the room. The musician is on the host committee along with Hayek Pinault and Pinault, Colman Domingo, Demi Moore, Jessica Chastain, Julianne Moore, and civil
