The Kering Foundation has announced the celebrity co-hosts for its fifth annual Caring for Women Dinner, a fundraising event aimed at ending gender-based violence. Salma Hayek Pinault, Dakota Johnson, Pamela Anderson, Benicio Del Toro, gymnast Simone Biles, polo player Nacho Figueras, artist Lorna Simpson and Kering chairman François-Henri Pinault will lead the evening, underscoring the foundation's ongoing efforts to raise both funds and awareness for the cause.

The dinner will take place on 10 September at The Pool in New York City, timed to coincide with the start of Fashion Week. Proceeds will benefit Activating Change, Fondo Semillas, JBWS and the New York Women's Foundation, and the event will feature a special performance and a live auction of luxury items from Kering's fashion houses, including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and Balenciaga. Last year's dinner raised more than $4.5 million, and the foundation, established in 2008, works with non-profits across six countries on survivor-centred services and prevention programmes.
