Local charity Pink Ribbon Monaco has partnered with 20 of the Principality’s most iconic buildings to put on a powerful display of support and solidarity for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each of the famous landmarks is set to be illuminated in a pink glow on 4th October in honour of this worthy cause.
It is a tradition that was launched back in 2011. Every October, Pink Ribbon Monaco asks buildings and monuments across the Principality to switch their evening façade lighting to a rose-coloured effect in tribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual event held around the world in October.
This time around, the charity has enlisted the help of 20 sites, including the Prince’s Palace, the Casino de Monte-Carlo, the National Council and the Oceanographic Museum.
To celebrate this now-iconic event, Pink Ribbon is throwing a private cocktail reception on the Café de Paris’ newly renovated upper terrace from 7.45pm on Friday 4th October. The location will give guests a clear view of the Monte-Carlo neighbourhood as it bathes in the pink lighting.
Digital self-examination brochure
The charity will use the event to promote its new digital brochure on breast self-examination, which is accessible via a QR code printed on locally created boxes of handmade sweet treats. The brochure is available in English and French, and contains vital information on how to perform self-examinations for the earliest possible detection and identify early signs of the disease.
Pink Ribbon Monaco was founded in 2011 by Natasha Frost-Savio. In 2024, she welcomed Princess Charlene as Honorary President and Olympic cyclist Tiffany Cromwell as Vice-President. In addition to Pink October, the charity also organises its popular Pink Ribbon Walk each February and various galas and events throughout the year.
