The Mercy Ships Monaco Gala brought together Monaco’s international community for an evening of elegance, generosity, and purpose at the Hall of Champions on Port of Monaco. Held on 2 June 2026 and hosted by Pietro Polidori, the annual Gala Dinner raised an impressive €580,000 in support of Mercy Ships’ humanitarian mission across Africa.
Guests, partners, philanthropists, and supporters gathered to celebrate hope and compassion, united by a shared commitment to expanding access to safe surgery and healthcare training in underserved communities. The evening was highlighted by a performance from the internationally acclaimed French Twins, with live entertainment by Terence James and DJ Ollie, creating a vibrant and memorable atmosphere.
The funds raised will directly support free life-changing surgeries, medical education, professional training, and long-term healthcare development in partnership with host nations across sub-Saharan Africa.
Founded in 1978, Mercy Ships operates the Africa Mercy® and the Global Mercy™, the world’s two largest non-governmental hospital ships. Each year, more than 2,500 volunteers from over 70 countries dedicate their expertise to transforming lives and strengthening local healthcare systems.
