A charity dinner hosted by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, founder of the easy family of brands, raised 102,000 euros in support of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation. Held at the Stelios Foundation Conference Hall in Monaco, the event was attended by 60 philanthropists and parents of students, alongside HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, who is Chair of the Award.
The evening raised 51,000 euros from attendees, with the Stelios Philanthropic Foundation matching the donations to reach the 102,000 euros total. The funds will support the Award’s work empowering young people aged 14 to 24 in over 120 countries, including Monaco.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award, founded in 1956 by the late Prince Philip, has helped over 1.1 million young participants develop vital skills such as resilience, creativity, and problem-solving, transforming both their lives and communities. The Award is available at institutions like the International School of Monaco and the British School of Monaco.
Sir Stelios expressed his delight in supporting the initiative, which has a nearly 70-year legacy of inspiring young people worldwide.
