Selena Gomez Taps Leon Bridges for Rare Impact Fund Benefit
Selena Gomez will return to the Hollywood Palladium on October 14 for the fourth annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit. The evening, emceed by Sean Hayes, aims to bolster the organization's ambitious goal of raising $100 million to expand global access to youth mental health services and educational resources.
Musical performances from Leon Bridges and Bella Kay will anchor the event, which serves as a cornerstone for the nonprofit’s ongoing fundraising efforts. Since its inception in 2020, the fund has secured over $30 million, supporting 30 partner organizations across five continents. These programs currently reach approximately 3.5 million young people each year.
This year's host committee features a diverse group of advocates, including Becky G, benny blanco, Jay Shetty, and UCLA Hospital System CEO Johnese Spisso. Corporate backing remains robust, with Rare Beauty, Afterpay, lululemon, and Ulta Beauty headlining the list of sponsors. Gomez emphasized that the collaboration is essential for scaling mental health support, noting that the collective effort directly impacts vulnerable youth populations worldwide. Attendees can participate in the mission through an online auction running in tandem with the live event.
