Hearts of Gold support RDK Melanoma Foundation
The Richard David Kann (RDK) Melanoma Foundation officially kicked off the season in Palm Beach with the annual Hart of Gold cocktail party hosted at the beautiful home of Michelle and Peter Worth. The intimate evening brought together longtime friends, philanthropists, and dedicated advocates to celebrate generosity, compassion, and a shared commitment to melanoma education and early detection.
Established in 2017 by Nancy and Joel Hart alongside Marianne and Harvey Gold, Hart of Gold has become a cherished annual tradition benefiting the RDK Melanoma Foundation. During the evening, Founder Debbie Schwarzberg presented the Hart of Gold Award to Michelle and Peter Worth in recognition of their generosity, leadership, and gracious hosting of this year’s event.
Hart of Gold served as the perfect launchpad for RDK’s highly anticipated 26th Annual RDK Melanoma Foundation Luncheon and Fashion Show, on March 12, 2026, at The Breakers Palm Beach. The luncheon features Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2026 collection, presented in the presence of Creative Director Wes Gordon. Runway looks will be accessorized by fine jewelry from Patricia Robalino Designs, adding a touch of sparkle and glamour to the afternoon.
The evening also highlighted the meaningful connection between fashion, wellness, and advocacy. Michelle Worth’s company, SKINSAFE, continues to set the gold standard in clean beauty, with ISDIN (a partner of RDK) earning an exceptional SKINSAFE score—reinforcing its reputation as a trusted, clean sunscreen brand. ISDIN and Carolina Herrera are both proudly owned by the PUIG family, reflecting a shared commitment to innovation, elegance, and excellence. RDK is thrilled to welcome Carolina Herrera for the second consecutive year as the featured designer for the annual luncheon.
Building on this excitement, RDK and ISDIN are launching SunSMART Summer 2026, a vibrant nationwide campaign bringing sunscreen, education, and creative learning to America’s most beloved summer destinations. Announced on Melanoma Monday, May 4, 2026, across social media and national publications, the campaign kicks off Memorial Day weekend and runs through Labor Day. SunSMART will activate in five key cities—Aspen, Park City, Dallas, Palm Beach, and Nantucket—engaging communities through education and interactive programming led by RDK’s 12 dedicated regional leaders.
From the sparkle of Hart of Gold to the runway at The Breakers and a summer spent spreading awareness coast to coast, RDK’s mission continues to shine brighter than ever—bringing people together, inspiring action, and saving lives.
