Yesterday, USA Today began an article series on human trafficking, that elicited quite a strong response amongst my friends on Facebook, such that Imyself promised that I will do something about it next week.
CLICK HERE to read the USA Today article
March 8 is #InternationalWomensDay & with the #metoo movement engulfing many people across various industries, the impetus to bring awareness to all these related issues of sexual violence and human trafficking couldn’t be any more timelier.
Last year, I launched the Rogue Hearts Foundation to help bring awareness and support to several issues I feel strongly about.
With #RogueHearts I can tie my regular and create or support special events to help shed light on these causes and do something about it.
On Monday March 12, I am supporting awareness of the #womenilluminatedfilmfestival which is helping to provide women filmmakers a platform to show films relevant to women’s issues.

I hope you can join / support my event: Human Trafficking, sexual violence, #metoo etc - all these causes are related and intertwined in terms of glorifying violence against women. I grew up with 3 brothers. My mom and grandmother took care of us- I don’t have far to look in terms of my support of empowering women.
And doing something about it.

EPILOGUE
And as I finish writing this blog, I glanced through my daily news and, while it may not be all dealing with women’s issues, it strikes at the heart of the hypocrisy within our society’s establishment:
And this is just this morning’s rundown.

On January 26-29, we are celebrating Caroline’s 21st Birthday In Las Vegas.
CLICK HERE for the video invite.
It is also the AVN Awards Weekend. Whoops.
So, how do we reconcile Caroline’s “innocent” birthday celebration with porn’s most celebrated weekend?
Enter The Rogue Hearts Foundation . Through the generosity of some of our sponsors, we are planning trip to bring awareness on the darker side of the Sex industry: human trafficking.
It is our hope that we can open a conversation with the legitimate Porn industry and enlighten them that this illegal activity is stigmatizing and twisting what is a celebration of human sexuality, and generalizing their lifestyle and work, into what society deems as bad, unfit, unacceptable or, worse, simply akin to be categorically evil.
With your support and (tax-deductible) donation, it is our hope that, besides bringing awareness, we are also able raise money to benefit charities dedicated to fight human trafficking, such as The Redlight Children campaign.

The 2010 feature film “Holly” was part of the Redlight Children campaign dedicated to bring awareness to child slavery.
We also welcome you to join me and Caroline on this trip. The more the merrier- the more noise we’ll make, and get everyone’s attention, so that the good and legal majority of the Sex industry can be more accepted by society, and, that if they join the fight against slavery and human trafficking, they may feel better about themselves and/or have higher moral ground to justify their career and lifestyle choice.
To support or join our AVN Trip, please contact me (Ruben) at RubenPromo@Gmail.com or 9293997075. If you simply wish to donate instead, to our trip and cause, please CLICK HERE. Thank you for your support.

ASmallWorld hosts Mode Culture Magazine NY Launch & Holiday Party
DATE TBD
Here’s the link to my New Year message, if you haven’t read or don’t know about it:
So New Year’s Eve has come & gone. And as things tend to be a whirlwind during this time, I realized that maybe it would best if I took a step back and take stock of my current situation.
It’s been a long and uneven 2017. For a good part of the year, it seemed like I was stuck in some kind of rut. Like there was a cloud of depression and doldrum following me around.
So, getting the Rogue Hearts charity fully functional was one of the biggest highlights of my year. I felt having Rogue Hearts gave me a sense of purpose, & fortunately, I was able to salvage a few things including this charity in an otherwise relatively down season.
or also @roguehearts01 on Facebook
Now that the sentimental part is over, let’s get to work. For me, I’ve set two (2) modest goals for the year:
If I miraculously reach these goals in less or half the time, then I will try to double it, but at the very least, I left this world in 2018 far better than 2017. So, if you haven’t yet, kindly add @roguehearts01 on social media (IG & FB); if you haven’t, please donate some to our seed budget, so we can start ramping up our events and production values and raise even more money.
At $10, $20, $50, $100, etc., these amounts will go a long way in funding our initial goals to finish setting up shop and conceptualizing our fundraiser tactics & strategy.
Our Instagram contest at @roguehearts01
THE CONTEST
Now, our second primary goal is to acquire enough followers and give us a little more credibility with our guests and donors. On that note, we’ve launched a contest that is already underway. Just go to our Instagram (IG) page @roguehearts01 and check it out.
The rules are simple;
DURATION & PRIZES
Originally, we deemed the contest to last 7 days. It officially began Tuesday 1/2/17 at noon, but due to the Bomb Cyclone and other developments, we’ve pushed the deadline to January 14, 2018, 12pm.
Throughout the duration of the contest, we may add a few more prizes. Therefore, every entrant has a chance to win for each prize being drawn, so everyone has a chance to win more for their entry(s):
Postcards set by Kaitlin Lee Garza
DOUBLE DOWN: OTHER WAYS TO WIN
You can also join our sister IG accounts to enter this same contest with a variation in rules:
If any account gets 1000+ new followers during any point of the contest, the prize(s) will DOUBLE in amount or value.
We will DM the winner(s) and let you know when contest is over and who won.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Hope you can play and good luck!

HAPPY 2018
First off, I want to wish YOU a HAPPY and prosperous New Year!
Just like the flyer below, make 2018 OUR year, and OWN it:
Happy New Year!
Allow me to offer you a small gift for 2018: click on the link below and download a copy of the flyer above, formatted to fit an IPhone Plus-type screen, which you can use as a digital wallpaper. There are two versions: one with the Happy New Year greeting, and one without, for later on in the year. Feel free to use one or the other, or both:
There will be other wallpapers and images that I’ll be adding over time, so feel free to check often and download any new images you may like.
ROGUE HEARTS FOUNDATION
Last year, I started my own charity- I throw a lot of events for a living, (with my events company Rogue Nights) so I figured why not raise money for charity while we’re at it, & for other charities that most everyone can support. And integrated together, it is my hope that both my events company and nonprofit can support each other with the different resources each brings to the table and grow together in order to throw a plethora of events of ever-expanding production and, in the process, do a lot of good for various charities and our society, in general.
If you haven’t yet, please follow our Instas @rubenpromo and @roguehearts01 and also, if you can, please tag your friends who are also motivated to make 2018 OUR year together!
MODE CULTURE MAGAINE
The tail end of 2017 is when I launched my online lifestyle magazine Mode Culture , featuring what is new, trendy or noteworthy in art, music, food, tech, entertainment and anything else that defines our lives today. Mode will also help me gain better traction, visibility, access and conversation with my friends and guests.
Also, integrated with Rogue Nights and Rogue Hearts, all three serve as my platform trinity to facilitate my own message and legacy, of pursuing our dreams and living life to the fullest, but also making sure we leave this world a better place than when we inherited it.
On January 23, 2018, we are hosting a NY launch event for Mode at The Mondrian on Park Avenue. The invite is at the end of this post. We hope you can make it. Feel free to bring/invite other cool friends & associates.
If you have any events to setup, or products or services you want us to market as a client or sponsor, please don’t hesitate to contact me at rubenpromo@gmail.com
Looking forward to seeing you in 2018!
Merry Christmas to all Saints and Sinners. If you have finished your family obligations relatively early, ALL are welcome to join God’s Chosen people in a more sinful than usual holiday celebration within our SINS of Sapphire industry party.
-SINS guest DJ Phresh
Sapphire’s doors open at 10pm. Party goes on until 4am. For RSVP and table reservations, please text at 9293997075 or e-mail RogueHearts01@gmail.com .

This blog entry shall formally serve as my official and main announcement of the launch of my non-profit The Rogue Hearts Foundation, over the next couple of weeks.
It is with eager determination that I am finally able to put many of the pieces together to make this a relatively working (albeit currently one-man) charitable entity.
Rogue Hearts was conceived due to a void- after 15+ years of parties and partying, I started to feel a little empty inside, after each glass of wine, or after each song the dj played. Therefore, it was a matter of time that I decided to feel a little bit better about myself, one song, one drink, or one party at a time. So that my hangover or indigestion the next day, will feel a little bit better, knowing that those drinks and shots last night may have inadvertently helped feed a hungry child or saved someone from human trafficking, somewhere along the way.
Besides its traditional fundraising elements, I try to impose my passive fundraising doctrine whenever I possibly can. Passive fundraising means that I’ve determine a set % of an event’s proceeds to go towards the foundation and the charity, if any, that Rogue Nights happens to be supporting at the time. So, any dollar amount you may have spent at the bar or the dining table, a certain % goes to charity. Granted, these amounts can be small or even tiny. But over time and multiplied by hundreds of parties, plus more traditional fundraising methods, it adds up.
Also, my experience and network as a promoter allows me leverage and minimize my costs in terms of event-planning and other related resources.
I’ve also designed Rogue Hearts to support multiple charities - which allows me to support the multiple causes that I feel strongly about, but was too many for me to manage on my own. The foundation greatly enhances my capabilities.
When my grandmother died of Alzheimer’s, when several of my friends died from suicide or drug overdose, when one of my closest friends was trapped at Tower A on 9/11, it can become a daunting list of tragedies to make sense of. And a lot of the times, you end up doing not so much, or you become overwhelmed and paralyzed.
But with the foundation, I can support mine or my friends’ causes and charities, and they in turn can support me, be more effective in a fundraising or awareness campaign, allowing us to help others in a better capacity.
My only restriction is to not get involved in political or religious events. My goal is to be a uniting force and, as I have friends in both sides of either arena; therefore, to choose between polarizing agendas is ultimately an unfortunate waste of time and resources. At least from my perspective.
You can follow Rogue Hearts Foundation on this blog or its website RogueHearts.org or on Instagram or Facebook under @roguehearts01
If you would like to donate, please click on the link below:
Any amount helps tremendously and is greatly appreciated. At the very least or first simple step, please follow us on social media and/or share us.
Our first major launch event will be held in Miami during Art Basel 2017, to help the launch of our new lifestyle magazine Mode Culture, which in turn, is supporting my friend and artist Shawn Kolodny’s Fake Fulfillment Center exhibit. All proceeds from our magazine event, via Rogue Hearts, will go towards The Caron Foundation, which is a drug rehabilitation center, and Shawn’s charity of choice. It goes well in hand with the overall theme. And I look forward to Rogue Hearts being one of the umbrella elements of this project.
Our second launch event will be held in New York City, sometime after Basel. We’ll keep you posted on the details as we progress.
Thank you very much for all the support you’ve given us. And I look forward to growing Rogue Hearts, and be a part of the solution.
- Ruben Araneta, Founder
The Rogue Hearts Foundation
DINNER PARTY
PS. Tonite please join us for a low key dinner party at Megu 930pm celebration our launch. Proceeds of ALL dinner reservations made via Rogue Nights or Rogue Hearts will go towards Women In Need charity. Thank you.
Artist Shawn Kolodny’s Fake Fulfillment Center
Mode Culture Magazine launch invite
On Tuesday, December 5, The Orchid Foundation is hosting a charity event at Loft 29, New York, NY. Details are on the invitation below.
@TheOrchidFdn is a mentorship nonprofit for underserved young women, in a one-on-one environment. The Rogue Hearts Foundation is proud to support this empowering event.
If you wish to volunteer, donate significantly, or have questions please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you and hope to see you at the event.
SPOTLIGHT ON:
@sushibybou_ is a most sublime 30 minute omakase experience. The brainchild of Chef David, Michael Sinensky & Erika London, the original Bou opened at the @sanctuaryhotel and the newest location within the Jue Lan Club Asian restaurant.
Each seating is limited to 10 & 15 respectively, so kindly plan accordingly. The experience is well worth it- heavenly omakase, tasty elixirs and a lively team of chefs. And at least you can say with Bou Jue Lan open, they more than doubled their capacity.
Email us for reservations.
Rogue Hearts Foundation is a non-profit dedication to raising awareness and funding for other causes relevant to improving our society's standards.
Want to get involved in our foundation? Contact us for volunteer work, our events, or to donate.
