The Pink Ribbon Monaco Gala, held under the Honorary Presidency of Princess Charlene, illuminated the Principality in pink on Saturday 11 October 2025, when over 20 landmarks across Monaco lit up to send a powerful message of unity and support to women fighting cancer — not only in the Principality, but around the world.
Hosted in the Salon Empire of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, with the support of the Société des Bains de Mer, the sold-out Gala brought together philanthropists, distinguished guests, and renowned figures for an evening dedicated to hope, solidarity, and progress in women’s health.
The event raised funds for a medical and scientific study led by Dr. Florent Hugonnet at the Princess Grace Hospital, a groundbreaking clinical trial focused on improving early detection of lobular breast cancer, one of the most difficult forms to diagnose.
“For fifteen years, Pink Ribbon Monaco has been a fully independent association, working closely with local offices, institutions, and hospitals to serve our community here in the Principality,” said President Natasha Frost-Savio at the gala, “but what we do here doesn’t stay here… Supporting local charities strengthens our community and creates a beautiful ripple effect that helps women—and preserves their families—across the globe. To use another familiar phrase: act locally, think globally.”
Ambassador Su Park added her touch of elegance and support to the evening, which featured contributions from Valtteri Bottas and Tiffany Cromwell, artist Carol Bruton, Olivia Cognet, Art Vision, Senate Grand Prix, the ASM Football Club, and Paul Pogba — all of whom helped make this edition of the Gala a resounding success.
Organized in partnership with Segraeti Monaco and Miss Rose, whose exquisite floral arrangements enhanced the atmosphere with refinement and warmth, the evening stood as a symbol of Monaco’s enduring commitment to women’s health.
Founded in 2011 and under the Honorary Presidency of HSH Princess Charlene since 2024, Pink Ribbon Monaco is the first association in the region to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month with the annual illumination of the Principality’s monuments in pink. Pink Ribbon Monaco also organizes the Pink Ribbon Walk in February.
