Selena Gomez Enlists Jimmy Kimmel for Third Annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit

Selena Gomez has officially announced the third iteration of her Rare Impact Fund Benefit, scheduled for October 29, 2025, in Los Angeles. This exciting charity event will be hosted by none other than the Emmy Award-winning comedian and late-night show personality, Jimmy Kimmel. The night promises to be lively, featuring a special performance from the acclaimed band, The Marías.

This year’s occasion, entitled A Night of Radiance and Reflection, not only commemorates the third anniversary of the benefit but also marks a significant milestone — the fifth anniversary of the Rare Impact Fund. This groundbreaking initiative aims to enhance access to mental health resources for youth around the world. As part of the celebration, the Fund will highlight five of its 30 nonprofit partners, showcasing their impactful stories and community contributions in the realm of mental health.

Elyse Cohen, the Chief Impact Officer at Rare Beauty and President of the Rare Impact Fund, shared her reflections on the journey thus far: "Five years ago, we set out to expand access to youth mental health. What began as a vision has grown into a vibrant community anchored by compassion and a shared belief that mental health is a fundamental right. The Rare Impact Fund Benefit is integral to our growth, serving as a moment to appreciate our achievements and recognize the critical work that remains. This event brings together our supporters and partners, ensuring we continue to advocate for young people's mental health needs."

The benefit will adopt a non-traditional cocktail-style format, creating an engaging atmosphere that fosters community among advocates for youth mental health. The goal is ambitious: to mobilize $100 million for organizations focused on increasing access to mental health services and education for young people.

Selena Gomez, the visionary behind Rare Beauty and the Rare Impact Fund, expressed her gratitude and excitement about the event, stating, "This night is a celebration of how far we've come and a powerful reminder of how much more we can do together. I'm incredibly grateful to Jimmy and The Marías for joining me in shining a light on youth mental health. Their support means the world—not just to me, but to millions of young people globally who benefit from this crucial work."

Since its inception in 2020, the Rare Impact Fund has raised over $20 million and supported 30 nonprofit partners across five continents, impacting approximately 2 million individuals annually. In Jimmy Kimmel's own words, "The world is an increasingly difficult place, especially for young people. I'm grateful to Selena Gomez for inviting me to host the third annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and I'm honored to help support their great work."

Key supporters for the upcoming fundraiser include influential brands and organizations such as Rare Beauty, Sephora, Pinterest, Pacsun, lululemon, Google.org, and UCLA Health. Together, they underscore a collective commitment to advancing mental health accessibility for youth.
