Monte-Carlo to Host 2nd Mercy Ships Charity Gala: A Night of Giving and Global Impact

On Saturday, June 14, 2025, the iconic Salle Empire at Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo will once again open its doors for the 2nd Mercy Ships Charity Gala, uniting the Principality’s most generous philanthropists, socialites, and supporters in an unforgettable evening of purpose and elegance.

Organised under the banner of Mercy Ships Monaco, this glamorous gala promises a night of magic—dedicated to raising life-changing funds for a mission that transforms lives across Africa through free, world-class surgical care provided aboard floating hospitals.

Following the tremendous success of its inaugural edition, the 2025 gala continues to elevate the philanthropic standards in Monaco, championed by figures such as Roland Brautigam, whose commitment to meaningful charitable causes continues to resonate deeply within the local and international community.

“I applaud Mercy Ships in their efforts of transformational development as they make a lasting difference in a world of need. Mercy Ships has committed themselves to the vision of an African renaissance in their vision of bringing hope and healing to the continent of Africa. I salute the vision and mission of Mercy Ships and ask that you join me in supporting their noble work and contribute to make this world a better place.” – Nelson Mandela (1918–2013)

More Than Just a Gala: A Global Cause

For over 40 years, Mercy Ships has provided more than 100,000 surgical procedures and trains 1,300+ healthcare professionals annually, all supported by an international volunteer crew and generous donors. The organisation is entirely funded by private contributions, making each gala a critical pillar in sustaining its impact.
