Joyful Heart in the News

When Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay decided to team up with Los Angeles based T-shirt brand Michael Stars to create a limited-edition tee to benefit women and children who have overcome domestic violence and sexual assault, her famous friends joined forces to celebrate the charitable partnership. Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox Arquette, Debra Messing, and Hilary Swank ditched their glamorous gowns and donned the do-gooding Michael Stars tee to honor Mariska’s cause at a private Beverly Hills bash. The cotton knits feature a silver heart inscribed with inspirational words for abuse victims such as “survive”, “love”, “heart”, “soul” and more. For every purchase, Michael Stars will give a tee to a woman in need and donate $5 to The Joyful Heart Foundation, Mariska’s charitable organization that strives to heal, educate and empower survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Prices range from $62 for short-sleeve styles to $64 for long-sleeve versions. Visit MichaelStars.com to shop.
