Monaco Disease Power’s Jungle Night Gala

On 4 November 2026, Maria Elena Cuomo, philanthropist and President of the Cuomo Foundation, attended Monaco Disease Power’s (MDP ) Jungle Night Gala at the Yacht Club de Monaco. Hosted by the association’s president, Muriel Natali-Laure, in the presence of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, the evening brought together members of the Monegasque community in support of the individuals and families the association serves.

The gala’s charity auction featured works by children and young adults with disabilities who receive support from Monaco Disease Power. Guests could view the pieces and bid on them to help fund the association’s activities.

The Cuomo Foundation has supported MDP since 2012. A year later, "La Maison d’Amélie" opened in Annot with the Foundation’s help, offering respite holidays for children and adults supported by MDP, along with their families. The Foundation later helped develop La Maison des Copains, which provides additional accommodation next door. In 2023, it fully funded the association’s purchase of a nearby hotel, which has since become "La Maison de Delphine", an inclusive residence for adults with autism. Maria Elena Cuomo and representatives of the Foundation attended its official opening in July 2026.
