Ambassadors

“I am truly honoured to have been chosen as an ambassador of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. Sport has been my most beautiful school of life because of the values of surpassing oneself that it has instilled in me, the will to succeed that it has affirmed and the unforgettable moments that it has allowed me to live. Promoting them will be a pleasure that is constantly renewed and a natural source of motivation, because these values are a precious guarantee of success, whatever the flame that animates us.”

Alexandre Bilodeau

“I am honoured that the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation has asked me to be an Ambassador. Supporting disadvantaged children through good education and sport can help them become responsible adults. I believe this is what we can do together through partnerships and with the help of local communities. Children can achieve their dreams by learning, through hard work and good values, and having access to adequate resources to help them along the way.”

Novak Djokovic

“The choice that leads me to become an ambassador of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation is fueled by the fact that we share the same objectives and the same priorities regarding the transmissibility of the values that mean a child can become an adult.

Through sport, we can give children the necessary tools to make their own knowledge, their own future.

The aquatic world is an essential element for personal development. Through swimming and diving activities, but also activities such as paddle, surfing or lifesaving, we can transmit important values: courage, humility, sharing, fraternity, discipline. Learning how to make choices, setting goals and sticking to them to get there.”

Pierre Frolla

“Apart from my activities as a Formula 1 driver, I have a passion for scuba diving. When H.S.H. Princess Charlene contacted me to become Ambassador of Her Foundation, I immediately responded positively because I was very sensitive to the cause defended by Her. H.S.H. Princess Charlene is also a high-level athlete and we share the same sporting values. Through the Foundation, which aims to raise awareness of learning to swim in order to avoid drowning, I am very happy to join this cause alongside H.S.H. Princess Charlene.”

Charles Leclerc

“It is a great honour for me to be able to represent the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. I will do my best to help the Foundation achieve its goals in the years to come by leveraging my own experience both as a professional athlete and as an entrepreneur. I am sure that together we can make a difference in the lives of children around the world.”

Bjørn Maaseide

“I am very honoured and proud to be an Ambassador of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation. Like the Princess, I come from a sporting background (swimming, paddle and lifeguard). I share the Princess’ passion to teach children of all backgrounds and cultures to swim and to support people in their own country so they can teach and help their fellow citizens. This is an exciting mission and I look forward to doing my part to educate future generations to feel comfortable whether in the ocean, lakes, rivers or in the pool.”

“Success is 90% attitude and 10% training… With the right attitude you can do anything. The worst handicap is attitude!”

“It is a great honour and privilege for me to become an ambassador of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation and to contribute to its important mission. Since its inception in 2012, the Foundation has helped save lives from drowning by teaching swimming to underprivileged children around the world and giving them hope through sport. As a professional athlete, I feel it is my duty to actively support all of the Foundation’s initiatives, where and when I can.”

Peter Sagan

“Sports have always been much more than just a way to stay active. They taught me valuable lessons that I learned and carry with me forever. I learned that hard work, dedication and sacrifice lead to success. Sometimes teamwork can be more rewarding than individual work. And that you must always have big dreams and give the maximum of yourself to achieve them. I am honoured to be an Ambassador of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, which emphasizes the importance of sport in a child’s life and empowers and motivates them to be all that they can be. And nothing is impossible to achieve if you give yourself the means. I know sport can change lives because it has certainly changed my life.”

Dara Torres

“I feel honoured and happy to support the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, especially because we have, with H.S.H. Princess Charlene, the same values and goals to help children around the world.  Since 2010, I have my own foundation in Germany to help children understand the importance of knowing how to swim, and also to teach them swimming.

I am happy to collaborate with the Princess and support her ambitious goals by helping others. Sport has always been our link and now we can use our common interests and values to do good for others.”
