Join us at The Plaza Hotel in New York on February 10, 2017 for the 52nd 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 important 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.

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 52nd Petroushka Ball will be directed towards RCWS’ charitable programs. Among them are educational scholarships for orphans (currently 86 students), medical treatment for children with severe facial deformities (annually over 200 little 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 vital programs.

You can support these programs and be a part of the Petroushka Ball in one or more of the following ways: 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-deductable.

52nd Petroushka Ball tickets will go on sale in October 2017. Please email us at main@rcws.org to join our mailing list or request a hard copy invitation. For sponsorships and other contributions, please contact us at 212-473-6263 or main@rcws.org.
