Impact
The previous editions of Pequeno Príncipe Gala have already raised more than US$ 4.6 million, which contributed to expanding the structure of the Pelé Pequeno Príncipe Research Institute, in addition to supporting the treatment of children and adolescents with serious illnesses.
There are many life stories that have already been transformed through Pequeno Príncipe’s health assistance and research actions.
Nicolas Magnani Floriano (photo above) was born in Araçoiaba da Serra, in the interior of São Paulo state, and when he was just a few months old, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory intestinal disease that affects the digestive tract. He was then referred to Pequeno Príncipe in 2023, to undergo a bone marrow transplantation (BMT), a treatment that could cure him. As soon as he was registered on the transplant list, compatible donors emerged. The 3-year-old boy underwent two procedures and today returned to a normal life in his city.
Sophia Grevinski discovered she had bone cancer after a few days of pain in her legs. The expeditious diagnosis, carried out at Pequeno Príncipe Hospital in 2022, surprised the family. Early diagnosis is essential for successful treatment. The teenager underwent an innovative surgery, which uses liquid nitrogen to “kill” cancer cells, thus avoiding the amputation of the limb affected by the tumor.
These and many other stories have been written at Pequeno Príncipe Hospital with the fundamental support of society.
Together, we transform and save lives!
