The Cuban singer La Diosa has once again demonstrated her dedication to philanthropy by donating $20,000 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital during a charity gala in Miami, bringing her total contributions to the institution to an impressive $40,000.
Dianelys Alfonso Cartaya, known professionally as La Diosa, attended the star-studded event alongside her husband, music producer Rey El Mago (Reinier Miguelez). The gala was a gathering of major donors and prominent figures from the Hispanic entertainment industry, all united in support of the pediatric hospital.
Throughout the evening, La Diosa shared glimpses of the event on her social media accounts. She was seen posing at the official St. Jude backdrop in a glamorous long silver gown adorned with embroidery and sequins, paired with transparent heels and striking red lipstick. She also posted a photo with Rey El Mago inside the event hall.
In an Instagram post, she expressed her gratitude: "Today we are at the St. Jude Gala, and all my followers are with me in this wonderful event. I love you. Thanks to you, we are among the top donors."
In the early hours of the morning, she confirmed her donation in an emotional video: "Today I donated another $20,000. We have reached $40,000 for St. Jude. I am very excited." She also hinted at releasing a more detailed video about her experiences at the gala.
A History of Generosity
This latest contribution adds to the $20,000 La Diosa donated in February, fulfilling her promise to donate the entire prize she won on the reality show "El Rancho de Destino" to the same hospital. At that time, she stated, "I promised this money would have a purpose greater than myself."
La Diosa's public connection with St. Jude began during her participation in the show, where she pledged from day one to donate any prize money to children battling cancer. She finished in third place, earning $20,000, which she handed to the hospital without keeping a dime.
Her followers responded with enthusiasm. The announcement video garnered over 33,600 views, 4,026 likes, and 268 comments in just a few hours, while the gala photo received more than 1,218 likes. Messages of pride and admiration flooded her posts.
La Diosa has a long-standing history of charitable acts within her community.
