In honor of the event and Women’s History Month, Gucci and Bumble have teamed up as part of Gucci’s Chime for Change campaign to support DivInc, a Texas-based nonprofit whose mission is to generate social and economic equity through entrepreneurship. The funding will support DivInc’s overall mission and various programs, including its Web3 Tech Accelerator program.
Additionally, Gucci’s Chime for Change continues to work with the Ms. Foundation for Women of Texas to help Texas college students, LGBTQ and POC women, and formerly incarcerated, rebuild their local communities through education and advocacy. Additionally, due to recent urgent threats to transgender rights in the state, Chime for Change is currently supporting Equality Texas’ Queer Texas Crisis Fund to support trans youth and their families.
During the party, Fanning, Austin residents, conference visitors and other guests, including Lena Heady and Alexis McGill Johnson, mingled and mingle at Austin’s favorite neighborhood restaurant, Sammie’s Italian. Guests enjoyed live music from Sir Woman.
