NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, May 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Luisa Díaz Foundation brought together community leaders, philanthropists, and changemakers for its annual Kindness Is Cool® MAG Gala (Mi Amor Graciousness Gala), held at the iconic Cipriani 25 Broadway. Now in its 11th year, the elegant evening honored survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking—and celebrated the transformative power of kindness.

Over the past decade, the MAG Gala has become the cornerstone of the Foundation’s mission—blending fashion, purpose, and philanthropy to uplift and empower women as they rebuild their lives and reclaim their power.

The evening opened with the premiere of a powerful public service announcement produced in collaboration with creative agency Sew Branded. Focused on kindness as strength, the PSA featured voices including Candace Bushnell, Julia Haart, Nicole Miller, Dina Lohan, and Aliana Lohan—each lending their platform to amplify the cause.

A moving performance by Broadway and opera artist N’kenge followed, setting a hopeful tone with her rendition of “What the World Needs Now Is Love.”

Founder Luisa Díaz then delivered a heartfelt keynote address:
“In those moments when you want to react to something unkind or hurtful, take a breath and remind yourself, ‘Kindness is cool.’ It protects your peace, shifts the energy around you, and reveals your true strength.”

Alan Brown, Luisa Díaz’s husband, followed with a heartfelt tribute to her unwavering commitment, which met with a standing ovation.

The emotional centerpiece of the evening was the Foundation’s signature Runway of Hope—a transformative fashion runway walked by survivors and dressed by designers including Diana Mahrach, Anne Fontaine, and Jovani Fashions. This powerful segment offered a dignified space for healing, confidence, and visibility, allowing each woman to reclaim her power through beauty, courage, and self-expression.

The Kindness Is Cool® Awards recognize individuals whose leadership is rooted in empathy and service. This year’s honorees included Julia Haart, Scott Woodward, Jack Myers, and others.

The celebration concluded with a performance by international artist Fernando Allende, followed by music and dancing led by DJ Victor.

Proceeds from the event supported two nonprofit organizations:
• Hope’s Door (www.hopesdoor.org), offering shelter, legal advocacy, and counseling to victims of domestic violence.
• Safe Passage Heals (www.safepassageheals.org), providing therapy, housing, and mentorship for women and children healing from abuse.

The Kindness Is Cool® MAG Gala continues to serve as the Foundation’s flagship event—celebrating resilience, elevating survivors, and reminding the world that kindness is not weakness, but power.

Kindness is cool. Pass it on.

Polski e-commerce rośnie w siłę. Konsumentów przyciągają przede wszystkim promocje

Rynek e-commerce w Polsce jest już wart ok. 152 mld zł. Rośnie zarówno częstotliwość zakupów, jak i średnia wartość koszyka – wynika z raportu Strategy&. Polacy doceniają wygodę zakupów przez internet, szybką dostawę i łatwy zwrot. Coraz częściej zwracają też uwagę na cenę i chętnie korzystają z promocji. To właśnie ten trend wykorzystuje Amazon.pl, organizując co roku festiwal z okazji Prime Day. W tym roku zaplanowano go po raz pierwszy aż na cztery dni: 8–11 lipca, a nie dwa jak w poprzednich latach.
