Since its inception in 1965, the Petroushka Ball has grown into one of New York’s most important Russian-American events, attended by over 700 guests. Past Petroushka Ball events featured leading soloists of the Metropolitan Opera, the American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Bolshoi Theater and other companies. All net proceeds from the 47th Annual Petroushka Ball will be directed towards the Russian Children’s Welfare Society (RCWS) charitable programs. Founded in 1926, the RCWS is dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children in Russia. Among RCWS projects are educational scholarships for orphans, medical treatment for children with severe facial deformities, assistance to orphanages, rehabilitation programs for children with special needs, a New Year’s party in Moscow for over 1,000 disadvantaged children. At present, RCWS awards scholarships to 36 students in Pskov, Yaroslavl, Moscow and Velikiy Novgorod regions. Please, visit our web site for additional information. We are looking forward to seeing you at 47th Petroushka Ball. Contact our office for tickets, ads, auction donations and special sponsorships. RCWS relies on private donations to support its various programs. We thank you in advance for your generosity and continued support.
