LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11, 2025 ~ Selena Gomez, the founder and creator of Rare Beauty and the Rare Impact Fund, has announced that the third annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit will take place on October 29th in Los Angeles. The event will be hosted by Emmy Award-winning comedian and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and will feature a special performance by The Marías.

This year's benefit, titled "A Night of Radiance and Reflection," marks a significant milestone for the Rare Impact Fund as it celebrates five years since its founding. As part of this momentous occasion, the Fund will shine a spotlight on five of its 30 nonprofit global partners on stage. This programming aims to showcase the personal stories, community impact, and cultural relevance of organizations working on the front lines of mental health.

Elyse Cohen, Chief Impact Officer at Rare Beauty and President of the Rare Impact Fund, expressed her excitement for this year's event. "Five years ago, we set out to expand access to youth mental health. What began as a vision has become a thriving community rooted in compassion, fueled by action, and united by the idea that access to mental health is a fundamental right," she said. Cohen also emphasized how integral the Rare Impact Fund Benefit has been in their continued growth and how it serves as a moment to reflect on their achievements while also acknowledging the work that still needs to be done.
