The Bal de la Rose, organized by the Société des Bains de Mer (Monte-Carlo SBM), for the benefit of the Princess Grace Foundation, is above all a charity evening. “The Ball is not for all that a simple social gathering, intended solely for the pleasures of celebration. Above all, it is a charity with an international influence., explains the Monte-Carlo SBM. To liven up the evening and raise funds, paintings and sculptures are offered in raffle lots. International stars had answered the call, including Janet Jackson.
