About Us

The 2025 Pequeno Príncipe Gala arrives 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 will host an unforgettable evening, where fine dining will unite 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 reinforces its commitment to the cause and raises 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 — will craft 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 is 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 will honor businesswoman and model Daniella Sarahyba Klabin for her engagement in social causes, and Dr. José Sampaio Neto, a scientific reference in pediatrics and a symbol of Brazilian medical excellence.
To lead the night with elegance and emotion, the masters of ceremonies will be the couple Giovanna Ewbank and Bruno Gagliasso, voices active for a fairer and more supportive Brazil.
Get ready for 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.
