Founded in Kailua-Kona in 2004 by actress and advocate Mariska Hargitay, lead star in the hit NBC series, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, the Joyful Heart Foundation's mission is to heal, educate and empower survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse and to shed light into the darkness that surrounds these issues.

Robin Renzi, Designer and CEO of Me&Ro, has been an avid supporter of the Joyful Heart Foundation for years and has even created special pieces to benefit the Foundation. Pieces within the Fearlessness Collection, which Hargitay wears on the series in her role as Detective Olivia Benson, help to raise money and awareness for Joyful Heart.
