MONACO, 7 December 2024 — Lady Monika Bacardi attended the prestigious Bal de Noël with her daughter, Maria Luisa Bacardi, at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo. The 19th edition of this traditional Christmas gala, held under the patronage of H.S.H. Princess Charlène of Monaco, brought together international figures dedicated to philanthropy and celebration in support of the Princess Charlène of Monaco Foundation.
The evening, themed “Paris-Monte Carlo,” took place in the elegant Salle Empire of the Hôtel de Paris, creating an atmosphere where Parisian glamour met Monaco sophistication. Lady Monika Bacardi, a distinguished member of the event’s International Action Committee, has long demonstrated her commitment to supporting initiatives that promote water safety and drowning prevention through the Princess Charlène of Monaco Foundation.
During the evening, a charity auction organized by Sotheby’s raised funds for the Foundation’s vital work in drowning prevention and the education of children through the values of sport. The Princess Charlène of Monaco Foundation addresses one of the leading causes of unintentional injury death for children worldwide through comprehensive education programs.
Lady Monika Bacardi’s attendance alongside Maria Luisa Bacardi reflected the family’s ongoing dedication to humanitarian causes and their active participation in Monaco’s distinguished philanthropic community. The mother-daughter presence at this cornerstone event underscored their commitment to supporting initiatives that create meaningful impact in children’s lives globally.
