Pink Ribbon Monaco, the Principality’s leading breast cancer charity, has a big month ahead, with two gala events coinciding with the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix. The charity has also announced the formation of a new partnership with Susan G. Komen Hawaii, a frontrunner in the international breast cancer awareness crusade.
Best known for its annual Pink Ribbon Walk, the charity is spreading its wings this May to host two concurrent gala evenings.
Both galas will take place on Friday 24th May.
One is the black-tie Monaco Grand Prix Floating Charity Gala, being organised by Agenxy, which will see VIP guests board a 70-metre superyacht and enjoy delicious fare from The Main catering before starting the bidding at a silent auction and listening to live entertainment in Port Hercule.

The second party, the Annual Global Short Film Awards Gala, will be held against the backdrop of the Cannes Film Festival at the InterContinental Carlton Cannes on the city’s famous Croisette. Proceeds from the silent auction at this event will again go to Pink Ribbon Monaco.
An ultra-glam and celebrity-filled occasion, the evening will feature musical performances and a luxury fashion show by designer Andres Aquino. For tickets and more information, click here.
NEW PARTNERSHIP
Natasha Frost-Savio, the founder and president of Pink Ribbon Monaco, recently announced that her charity would be joining forces with the Susan G. Komen Hawaii association, which is part of the Texas-based Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
“After years of unwavering commitment to breast cancer awareness, we are thrilled to unite with the Susan G. Komen Foundation, pioneers of the global movement,” shared a spokesperson for Pink Ribbon Monaco on social media.
As partners, the two aim to raise funds for “critical research and support programmes” as well as to further showcase Monaco’s commitment to the cause.
