MONACO, 19 June 2017 — Lady Monika Bacardi attended the third edition of Sail for a Cause, held at the Yacht Club of Monaco under the patronage of Pierre Casiraghi.

The day concluded with a festive celebration at the Yacht Club of Monaco, where donors and supporters gathered to mark another successful edition of this meaningful event.
