Eva Longoria, honorary host at the Paris global gala, 2026

BGUK_3734923 - Fifteen years after its inaugural edition, The Global Gift Gala once again brought together music, art, and philanthropy in Paris. Last night, the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris hosted a celebration led by actress, director, and activist Eva Longoria, honorary chair of the Global Gift Foundation. Longoria highlighted the true meaning of the event: "Every Global Gift Gala reminds us that when we join forces, we can change lives. Behind each event are children and families in need of our support—stories of resilience and dreams that deserve to come true. I am deeply proud to be part of this great family and to continue this journey alongside María Bravo, whose dedication and generosity allow us to reach even further each year." Entrepreneur, philanthropist, and social activist Henry R. Muñoz III received the Global Gift Humanitarian Award during an evening dedicated to supporting Casa Ángeles Marbella and the Casa Ángeles Quang Chau orphanage in Vietnam. Under the leadership of María Bravo and Eva Longoria, The Global Gift Gala has been recognized as the best event in Europe for 2026 and 2027. The gala’s beneficiaries include Casa Ángeles Marbella and the Casa Ángeles Quang Chau orphanage in Vietnam—the latter being fully supported by the Global Gift Foundation, which provides food, education, medical care, and a home for 103 children who have been abandoned or lack family, including those with special needs. María Bravo has been caring for these children since 2018.
