Rare Impact Fund Benefit Set for Oct 14 in Hollywood
The Rare Impact Fund will host a fundraising event at The Hollywood Palladium on October 14 to expand youth mental health services globally.
An event will take place on October 14 at The Hollywood Palladium to raise funds to expand access to mental health services and education for young people globally. Gomez will host the night, while Emmy and Tony Award-winning actor and comedian Sean Hayes will serve as the presenter. The event will bring together its first host committee featuring figures from entertainment, business, health, and philanthropy.
The Rare Impact Fund was founded in 2020 alongside Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty cosmetics brand. Since its founding, the foundation has raised over $30 million, supports 30 non-profit partners across five continents, and reaches approximately 3.5 million young people annually. The long-term goal of the fund is to provide $100 million to organizations working to improve young people's access to mental health services and education.
One percent of Rare Beauty sales are donated to this initiative, with additional funding provided by charities, corporate partners, and individual supporters. Sponsors include Rare Beauty, Afterpay, Batch & Box, lululemon, Pacsun, UCLA Health, and Ulta Beauty. At last year's event, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, Grammy-winning singer Laufey and alternative pop band The Marías performed, raising over $2 million with support from more than 20 sponsors and guests.
