One of the annual traditions of Miss World is the Charity Gala Event, where all Miss World contestants bring with them a special gift, be it a personalized painting or a valuable token from their country, and auction it for a good cause.

The event held on Tuesday, 15th of December, 2015 in Sanya, China.

Apart from the contestants for the Miss World 2015 competition the event was graced by some former Miss World winners including Rolene Strauss (Miss World 2014), Ksenia Sukhinova (Miss World 2008), Megan Young (Miss World 2013), Azra Akın (Miss World 2002), Yu Wenxia (Miss World 2012) and Agbani Darego (Miss World 2001).

Over $40,000 was raised through the auction, raffle and ticket sales on the night, providing vital funds for those in need.
