More than 200 VIP guests from the worlds of sport, art and business joined Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco at the third edition of a charity gala night benefiting the Princess Charlene Foundation and the Courchevel Sports Club at the end of last week. The night, full of revelry and celebration, sought to underscore the values of sport and solidarity, each a key theme of the Princess’ eponymous foundation.

On Thursday 20th February, the Ineos Club House in Courchevel hosted the third edition of a prestigious charity dinner and gala event, which was presided over by a smiling Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, was a glamourous and joyful affair.

Upwards of 200 special guests attended the soirée in the luxury French ski resort, with the funds raised by their presence and participation in an exciting auction destined for projects led by the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation as well as the Courchevel Sports Club.

The silent – yet highly animated – auction was conducted by renowned Finnish auctioneer Jussi Pylkkänen. Featuring rare artworks, coveted sports memorabilia such as Max Verstappen’s F1 racing helmet, and exclusive experiences like the Summit Adventure package offered by young explorer and Princess Charlene Foundation supporter Alasdair McKenzie, the sale was a high point of the evening. A raffle later in the night further contributed to raising important funds for the Foundation and its child protection, drowning prevention and sports development programmes.

As usual with this wintertime gala event, a portion of the money raised will also be given to the local Courchevel Sports Club and its young members.
