JBWS Named Beneficiary of the Fifth Annual Caring for Women Dinner Presented by Kering Foundation

MORRISTOWN, N.J. – JBWS is thrilled to announce that it has been selected as a beneficiary of the Fifth Annual Caring for Women Dinner, presented by the Kering Foundation. This prestigious event brings together some of the world’s most influential voices from fashion, entertainment, sports, and the arts to raise awareness and critical support for the movement to end gender-based violence.

 

Co-hosted by Salma Hayek Pinault and François-Henri Pinault, alongside Pamela Anderson, Simone Biles, Benicio Del Toro, Nacho Figueras, Dakota Johnson, and Lorna Simpson, the evening unites advocates, artists, and changemakers around a powerful shared vision: a future free from gender-based violence.

 

Support generated through the event will directly advance JBWS’s mission to provide life-saving services to survivors of domestic violence and their families.

 

“We are incredibly honored and grateful to be chosen by the Kering Foundation as one of the charity recipients of this extraordinary event,” said Diane Williams, President & CEO of JBWS. “This support will help JBWS establish an emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children in Passaic County. Emergency shelter provides immediate safety, stability, and access to critical services at a pivotal moment in a survivor’s journey, creating a pathway from crisis to healing, hope, and independence.”

 

JBWS extends its heartfelt thanks to the Kering Foundation and everyone involved in making the Caring for Women Dinner possible. Their generosity is more than an investment in our programs; it is an investment in survivors, families, and communities, and a powerful statement that together, we can prevent and end domestic violence.
