Mariska Hargitay Brings Her Joyful Heart to Bloomingdale’s

Law & Order: SVU's Mariska Hargitay is beautiful not only on the (obvious) outside but on the inside as well. When she began the series, she was deluged with letters from women who talked of their own real life experiences as victims of domestic and sexual violence. Realizing she could be the conduit to change and awareness, the actress formed her charity the Joyful Heart Foundation. The organization's mission:
The Joyful Heart Foundation works to foster a community that turns toward the issues of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Such a community, empowered with knowledge, courage and compassion, can support survivors of this violence and engage in an open dialogue about how to collaboratively end the cycle of violence and abuse
Earlier today she and Michael Cohen, founder of Michael Stars clothing and accessories, teamed up at Bloomingdale's in New York where a portion of the sales of his collection goes to the JHF.
