It is designed to ‘unite the world to defend the planet and defeat poverty’ according to the official website.
This follows reports that Hugh and Sutton are keeping their relationship under the radar amid intense public scrutiny.
While they did pose together on red carpets before their romance was revealed, the pair have not yet walked a red carpet as a couple despite being together for several months.
Insiders are now claiming that the Wolverine star, 56, and his ladylove, 50, are nervous to make a public debut.
‘Sutton is still nervous about taking that big step into Hugh’s world,’ an alleged source told New Idea this week.
The couple have dodged invites to the Oscars, the Met Gala, and the Tony Awards, the publication claims.
That could all change soon, with Hugh reportedly hoping to have Sutton by his side at the premiere of his new movie, Song Sung Blue, at the AFI Fest in Hollywood on October 26.
‘It’s a big moment for him, and he wants to share it with the woman he loves,’ the source claims.

Just days ago, the couple put on a united front as they arrived together at LaGuardia Airport, New York.
The pair, who hadn’t been seen together since May, were seen joking and laughing as they made their way through the arrivals terminal, luggage in tow.
Attempting to fly under the radar, the Australian star covered his face beneath a baseball cap and black face mask.
Hugh began dating the US actress in late 2024 after splitting with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness in September 2023.
It comes amid claims that Hugh and Sutton’s budding romance has hit a rough patch, with the pair reportedly feeling pressured by the public scrutiny of their relationship.
‘It’s always hard dating in the public eye… but when you add their whole backstory and what they’ve put on the line as far as their reputations, the pressure rises,’ an insider told Life and Style magazine earlier this year.
They added the pair were finding it challenging to keep the romance alive due to work commitments, including Jackman spending several months in Ireland to film a movie.
‘Being apart for an extended period of time can be tough on any couple. There’s a lot of harsh judgement about them online,’ the source added.
‘Now, there’s a sense they have something to prove.’
