On Nov. 20, Breitling Boutique Austin hosted an evening that blended high style and meaningful community support. The gathering was co-hosted by TRIBEZA’s current cover star, Loreal Sarkisian – celebrated fashion stylist, philanthropist, Vogue 100 member, and First Lady of Longhorns Football – whose presence drew a dynamic mix of tastemakers, supporters and watch enthusiasts for an evening of connection and discovery. Guests were treated to a private presentation of Breitling’s newest releases, featuring standout pieces that reflect the brand’s reputation for exceptional engineering and sophistication. 

Sarkisan’s Support for SAFE Austin 

The event was curated with purpose as much as polish. A portion of proceeds from the evening supported SAFE Austin, the nonprofit dedicated to providing safety, advocacy and healing for survivors of abuse and violence. The partnership underscored Sarkisian’s belief in using influence for good, and elevating the night from a luxury showcase to a moment of collective impact within the Austin community.

Ways to Support SAFE this Holiday Season

During this Christmas season, here are some meaningful ways you can help, especially through their SAFE Holidays Program. 

  • Sponsor a family or individual: You can request a “wish list” and buy gifts for a survivor, child or entire family. Once you sign up, SAFE will email you a tailored wish list (typically items under $50–$75 per wish).
  • Donate essentials and shelter-items: Contribute items from SAFE’s Amazon or Target wish-lists that ship directly to their warehouse. These help survivors who might move in around the holidays or early next year.
  • Send holiday décor or festive touches: You can gift small Christmas trees, ornaments, decor or wrapping supplies to help make a safe space feel like home during the holidays.
  • Give a monetary donation: Direct financial support lets SAFE allocate resources where they’re most needed—whether for housing, therapy, basic needs or holiday gifts.
  • Volunteer your time: SAFE often needs help organizing donations, sorting gifts, or assisting with drop-offs during December. Volunteering can make a big difference behind the scenes.
