The 2025 Pequeno Príncipe Gala arrived with even more sparkle and purpose, in a special edition marking the event’s return to Rio de Janeiro — a city that breathes art, culture, and generosity. On October 6th, the legendary Belmond Copacabana Palace hosted an unforgettable evening, where fine dining was united with solidarity to support children and adolescent’s health in Brazil.

Throughout its editions, the Gala has mobilized both Brazilian and international society, raising more than US$ 5 million to strengthen the healthcare and research activities at Pequeno Príncipe Hospital — the largest and most complete pediatric hospital in the country. These funds have been crucial for purchasing high-cost medications, reagents, equipment, and structural improvements, ensuring top-quality treatments for children and adolescents from all over Brazil.

In this 16th edition, the event reinforced its commitment to the cause and raised the bar even higher. Under the curation of the renowned chef and event’s patron, Claude Troisgros, a team of Brazilian culinary stars — Roberta Sudbrack, Helena Rizzo, Jessica Trindade, and Wellington Barcellos — crafted the evening’s menu, offering a true celebration of flavors and emotions.

More than just an exclusive dinner, the Gala is a gathering of people who believe in the power of solidarity and transformation. Daniele Giacomazzi Behring was the co-chair of the event, with the support of philanthropic investor Amalia Spinardi Thompson Motta — women who have dedicated themselves to the cause for years, making this event an ever-growing success.

In 2025, the Gala honored model and influencer Daniella Sarahyba Klabin for her engagement in social causes, and Dr. José Sampaio Neto, a scientific reference in the field of digestive system surgery, a specialist in transplants, and a symbol of Brazilian medical excellence.

To lead the night with elegance and emotion, the masters of ceremonies were Bruno Gagliasso and Léo Fuchs.

It was a unique night where every detail has been thought out to enchant, move, and, above all, make a difference in the lives of thousands of children and adolescents.
