Social Engagement

The story of Pequeno Príncipe Hospital is built by thousands of hands — healthcare professionals, volunteers, companies, and people who believe in the power of solidarity. For over a century, the engagement of society has been essential to advancing healthcare for children and adolescents across Brazil.

The Pequeno Príncipe Gala is one of the most visible expressions of this engagement. The event is supported by individuals who act with dedication, strategy, and sensitivity — connecting networks and mobilizing resources in support of the cause.

Among the key supporters are philanthropists Daniele Giacomazzi Behring and Amalia Spinardi Thompson Motta.

Daniele, co-chair of the Gala, is one of the leading advocates for the cause, fostering connections in Brazil and abroad to benefit child and adolescent health.

Through Daniele, Amalia discovered the Hospital’s work and began contributing with her strategic vision, energy, and creativity — helping to expand the institution’s visibility.

Over the years, other women have also made a lasting impact on the Gala:

– Many Tigre Elache, who, together with her husband, Dinho Elache, played a key role in establishing the Pequeno Príncipe’s Bone Marrow Transplantation Service;
– Marjorie Geiger Hauser, who turned a personal experience into active support for the Hospital and its chaplaincy;
– Sylvia Brasil Coutinho, a champion of tax-deductible donations via income tax, who mobilizes business leaders in support of child and adolescent healthcare;
– Belinda Badcock Brito and Monique Nosé, supporters who also contribute with dedication and generosity.

Another great ally is chef Claude Troisgros, who since 2011 has donated his time and talent to the Gala, combining gastronomy and solidarity with passion and purpose.

All of them are part of a transformative network that believes in a more just Brazil — where every child has the right to health and a future filled with opportunity.
