The UGME Class of 2026 and the Graduate Students are excited to invite you to the 47th annual Monte Carlo Charity Gala. Take a trip back in time with us to Old Holywood! Since the tradition began in 1977, Monte Carlo has supported over one hundred local charities across Newfoundland and Labrador. The event has come to stand for the social accountability and community engagement that we as medical students strive to represent.

Over 44 charity applications were reviewed and voted upon this year by our charity selection committee. It was very humbling to read about the vital work many organizations are doing for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our four amazing 2023 recipients are: Iris Kirby House, Nevaeh’s Angel Foundation, Association for New Canadians, and Choices for Youth.

Our committee, composed of 27 students, has spent the last year planning what we hope will be a memorable night. We are excited to share the event with you as we continue this 47-year-old tradition. Please see some important details below before purchasing your ticket!

Live music courtesy of the Class of 2026 Jazz Band
