Social Engagement

The history of Pequeno Príncipe Hospital has been built by thousands of hands — healthcare professionals, volunteers, companies, and individuals who believe in the power of solidarity. For over a century, community engagement has been essential in advancing pediatric healthcare across Brazil.

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

Among them are the Hospital’s ambassador, Daniele Giacomazzi Behring, and the Gala’s philanthropic supporter, Amalia Spinardi Thompson Motta.

Daniele plays a key role in advancing the cause, building connections both in Brazil and internationally to support children and adolescents’ health.

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

Over the years, other women have also left a lasting impact:
– Many Tigre Elache, who, alongside her husband Dinho Elache, was instrumental 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 strong advocate for tax-deductible donations, mobilizing business leaders in support of pediatric healthcare;
– Belinda Badcock Brito and Monique Nosé, dedicated supporters who contribute with generosity and commitment.

Another key partner is chef Claude Troisgros, who has donated his time and talent to the Gala since 2011, bringing together gastronomy and philanthropy with passion and purpose.

Together, they form a network of transformation that believes in a more equitable Brazil — where every child has access to healthcare and the opportunity for a better future.
