The charitable event “From Children To Children” which took place on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at the Grand Hotel Europe, St. Petersburg was a great success. The event was organized in cooperation with Milost Foundation and the IWC of St. Petersburg.

In total there were about 300 guests who joined us to celebrate Maslenitsa and help raise money for the Newborn Department of Hospital #38 in Pushkin.  The benefit kicked off with games and children's activities as well as blinis and a fashion show of children's clothing.  In addition there was an auction, which included a Matt Lamb painting, a Murano glass sculpture and many other prizes for all ages. We had some very special guests join us at the event; children from the Children’s Village SOS in Pushkin also attended the event and participated in the many activities. The benefit was also attended by the media; portions of a news broadcast on the event even made it on to U-Tube!

With the help and support of many companies, individuals and volunteers, we were able to underwrite the event. All proceeds went directly towards the purchase of medical equipment for the newborn department of Hospital #38.  Installation of this equipment will be completed shortly.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank all those who supported this event; without your help none of this could have been possible.
