On the eve of the UN General Assembly in September 2025, FOSSIL Foundation celebrated “A Night of Audacious Visionaries” at FOSSIL’s Fifth Avenue Showroom.
Global changemakers, Foundation partners, and cultural icons united under one roof to highlight their shared mission: building a better world together through bold youth empowerment. And the energy was nothing short of electric.
To reinforce its role in global philanthropy and the importance of strategic global collaboration, the Foundation co-led in-depth discussions on fostering sustainable community growth and overall well-being with thought-leading partners, including African Collaborative and Mindful Philanthropy. The event also facilitated conversations among strategic partners: the Social Innovation Summit, MIT Solve, the UN Global Compact Network USA, and the Gates Foundation’s Goalkeepers event.
Major highlights of the night included a $300,000 investment from the Elevate Prize Foundation to Millenium Campus Network, and the celebration of Safeena Husain, Founder of Educate Girls, a longtime Foundation partner, for receiving the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award.
FOSSIL Foundation continues to invest in unlocking the power of the rising generation through strategic partnerships and support of visionary organizations. Learn more about the FOSSIL Foundation here.
“We created a welcoming space for changemakers to weave connections, exchange stories, and lay the groundwork for collaborations that drive real impact.”
