Fundraising

The Monaco Red Cross's largest fundraising event is the annual Red Cross Gala, which takes place in the Salle des Étoiles of Sporting Monte-Carlo. A yearly clearance sale is also held on "World Cross Day" in May, raising awareness and finances for the charity.[2][3]

The organization has an annual aid budget of €7,000,000, and assists 20 to 40 counties affected by war, famine, and natural disasters each year.
