The LuisaViaRoma Winter Gala, a collaboration between the leading global luxury retailer LuisaViaRoma and UNICEF, is an annual event held in the picturesque island of St Barth. This tradition, which began just a few years ago in Porto Cervo and later in Capri, has raised over 13 million euros to support UNICEF's programs aimed at helping every child count.

The event format typically includes a private cocktail reception, a gala dinner with a live auction, and music performances by international artists. Over the past few years, the gala has seen the participation of benefactors and celebrities from all over the world who share a passion for philanthropy.

The 2022 Winter Gala, for instance, featured special performances by Lenny Kravitz and Drake, attracting a star-studded crowd that included Leonardo DiCaprio, Rita Ora, Tobey Maguire, Naomi Watts, Billy Crudup, Luke Evans, Edward Enninful Obe, Karolina Kurkova, and many others.

The auction, presided over by the entertaining Simon de Pury, offers a range of exclusive items, from artworks by renowned artists to unique experiences. The funds raised during the event support UNICEF's work in providing care and protection to vulnerable children across the globe, particularly in areas affected by conflicts, natural disasters, and inequality.

The partnership between LuisaViaRoma and UNICEF is a perfect match, combining the world of luxury retail with social responsibility, impact, and sustainability. Despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic, the event continues to generate an almost deafening buzz, reflecting the commitment of both organizations to make a difference in the lives of children in need.
