The Charity:

The Grand Ball goes beyond a festive evening. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Princess Grace Foundation - Monaco. Founded in 1964 by Princess Grace, the Foundation contributes to humanitarian projects which benefit children and also helps students through cultural projects. Quietly but efficiently, the Foundation keeps on its philanthropic work thanks to the support and generosity of donations.

The primary aim of the Foundation is to help children in hospital and their families. It helps numerous paediatric units throughout French hospitals, in particular in the purchase of equipment necessary for the treatment of young patients. The Foundation helps by providing assistance for the entertainment of sick children by bringing clowns to their bedside, by setting up film screenings or indeed in the organization of holidays. The Foundation also takes an interest in the children’s parents. It helps them by enabling them to stay by their children’s bedsides in hospital and contributes financially to the construction, renovation and upkeep of “Parents’ Houses”.
