Charity Cup Game Raises Funds for Fight AIDS Monaco

 

A few days ago, Louis Ducruet, President of the Barbagiuans, presented a cheque for 180,000 euros to his mother, H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie, President of Fight AIDS Monaco, and Hervé Aeschbach, Coordinator.

The money was raised thanks to the Fight Aids Cup, in which the Barbagiuans played against the Cirque FC in a football match of legends at the Stade Louis II.

The match played on January 23rd, included legends of the game such as Claude Puel, Didier Deschamps, and Clarence Seedorf, as well as other sports celebrities from outside of the game, like Charles Leclerc and Louis Ducruet, and it was won by the Barbaguians this year. This victory follows two consecutive victories by Princess Stéphanie’s Cirque FC.

While the game itself puts on a spectators show for the fans in attendance, the main goal is to raise funds for Fight Aids Monaco, chaired by Princess Stéphanie.
This generous donation is the result of the Fight AIDS Cup 2023 organized by the Barbagiuans.

Fight Aids Monaco is an association that since the early 2000s, has helped people living with Aids, while also working towards increased awareness, screening, and prevention.

The money raised from the Fight Aids Cup will allow the organization to fund its activities throughout the year, both in Monaco and at Maison de Vie in France.
