3rd June 2023, Mumbai: Actress Somy Ali’s non-governmental organization (NGO), No More Tears, based in the United States, is gearing up for its annual fundraiser in June. No More Tears aims to assist victims of domestic violence and rape, and has provided invaluable support to countless women and children over the years. The fundraiser is scheduled for June 7th and has been initiated by Daniela Frewa, a regular monthly donor. Frewa formed a committee comprising influential women in Miami to plan and organize this event, as they are known to be the top movers and shakers in the city.This year marks the 7th edition of the event, and attendees can anticipate an evening filled with delightful cocktails, delectable bites, and dancing at Bagatelle Miami. Ms. Erin Newberg, the chair of the gala committee, along with Ms. Cristina Scarano, an entertainment lawyer for BBC and various top-notch TV shows, and Ms. Lauren Walsh, among other highly intellectual women in Miami, have dedicated their time and effort to meticulously plan and organize the event. Despite their busy schedules managing their own businesses, they have wholeheartedly contributed to securing sponsors, arranging alcohol and food, and ensuring that the crème de la crème of Miami’s society will be present.
Somy Ali emphasizes the critical importance of this larger-than-life event for No More Tears, as the organization’s survival depends on it. The funds generated through ticket sales and silent auctions enable NMT to continue its impactful work not only locally and nationally but also internationally. The organization has the resources to assist victims in India and various Latin American countries, where domestic violence remains alarmingly high and sadly accepted as a norm, much like in Southeast Asia.
Somy Ali also highlights that people from all around the world can contribute to the cause. She encourages individuals who are unable to attend the event in person to purchase tickets online via their website or make significant donations. The support received through these channels is tremendously valuable in sustaining their work.

Expressing her gratitude, Somy Ali expresses her heartfelt appreciation for the committee women involved in the planning and organizing of the event. She humbly admits that she is not actively engaged in these aspects herself. Without the dedicated efforts of these women, No More Tears would not exist, and Somy’s dreams and purpose would be shattered. She acknowledges that both herself and the victims owe everything to these remarkable women, as they are the driving force behind the success of the organization. The gala/fundraiser is a cherished time of the year for Somy, as it allows survivors to share their stories of rescue, the abuse they endured, and, most importantly, how their lives have transformed through NMT’s services. Somy emphasizes that a simple thank you is inadequate to express her appreciation for the time and hard work invested by the committee. She acknowledges that she can never fully repay the immeasurable contributions they continue to make for No More Tears.
