New York, NY — 2025 — The MAG Gala (Mi Amor Graciousness Gala) is a celebration of kindness—bringing together leaders in fashion, philanthropy, media, and entertainment for an evening where compassion takes center stage. The annual gala was founded by philanthropist Luisa Diaz, Founder and CEO of the Luisa Diaz Foundation and founder of the Kindness Is Cool® movement, which redefines kindness as a strength and a way of leading in today’s world.
The 2025 MAG Gala was hosted at the iconic Cipriani, welcoming a distinguished guest list of philanthropists, cultural leaders, and celebrities united by a shared belief that kindness has the power to create real and lasting change.
Held in support of the Luisa Diaz Foundation, the evening highlighted the Foundation’s mission to uplift communities and empower survivors through dignity, opportunity, and hope.
A defining moment of the night was the Runway of Hope, the Gala’s signature presentation. More than a fashion experience, it honored survivors as they stepped into the spotlight—celebrating resilience, healing, and new beginnings, and reminding all in attendance that kindness is not a weakness, but a courageous act of strength.
“The MAG Gala exists to remind us that kindness matters—now more than ever,” said Luisa Diaz. “This night is about celebrating humanity, resilience, and love in action.”
Proceeds from the MAG Gala 2025 supported the Foundation’s programs and initiatives, reinforcing its guiding philosophy: Kindness Is Cool®.
Because kindness is not just a value—it is a movement.
