Join us at The Plaza Hotel in New York on February 9, 2018 for the 53rd Annual Petroushka Ball to benefit the Russian Children’s Welfare Society (RCWS) chartable programs.
Since its inception in 1965, the Petroushka Ball has been one of New York's most elegant charitable events, attended by over 700 guests representing business, artistic and diplomatic spheres. Past Petroushka Ball events have featured leading soloists of the Metropolitan Opera, the American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Bolshoi Theater, and other prominent companies.
We are thrilled to announce that the 53rd Petroushka Ball will feature a performance by Ildar Abdrazakov, bass and Lyubov Petrova, soprano, appearing by kind permission of the Metropolitan Opera.
Founded in 1926, the Russian Children’s Welfare Society (RCWS) is focused on improving the lives of children at risk in Russia. All net proceeds from the 53rd Petroushka Ball will be directed towards RCWS’ charitable programs. Among them are college scholarships for orphans (currently 157 students), medical treatment for children with severe facial deformities (annually over 200 patients receive surgeries), assistance to orphanages, rehabilitation programs for children with special needs, a “Yelka” (New Year and Christmas tree) party in Moscow for over 1,000 disadvantaged children visiting from many areas of Russia; and other programs.
You can support these programs and be a part of the Petroushka Ball by purchasing tickets to the Ball, placing advertisements in Petroushka Ball program, donating prizes, making a contribution, supplying products for the gift bags. All contributions are tax-deductible.
You could buy tickets on-line http://www.rcws.org/events/53rd-petroushka-ball ; mail a check to the RCWS office; make payment by wire transfer (contact main@rcws.org for instructions); make your reservation by phone at 212-473-6263.
Sponsorship of the Petroushka Ball is a unique avenue to entertain clients, employees, network with prominent Russian-American businesses, and provides an exceptional opportunity for corporate visibility. More importantly, sponsorship of the Ball provides companies with a compelling way to have a meaningful and far-reaching impact on a child's life.
