Gift of Life Charity was registered in the United Kingdom in 2011 to support projects of Podari Zhizn Foundation abroad. You can �ind out more about Gift of Life at www.givelifenow.co.uk.
The event programme includes welcome speeches by the founders, patrons and celebrity guests; a festive dinner and drinks; auction and lottery; children’s art sale; an ambient performance by the acclaimed jazz band Nino Katamadze & Insight all set against the opulent backdrop of the beautiful museum to make the night truly unforgettable.
Your hosts for the evening: Ms Dina Korzun and Ms Chulpan Khamatova.
Date: Old Russian New Year, 13 January 2012. It is traditional for Russians to welcome the New Year twice, on 31 December and on 13 January, due to a historic change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1918. This two-week celebration is a favourite with children in Russia seen as a gift that keeps on giving.
Timing: 7 pm – 12:30am. Drinks reception from 7 to 8pm followed by the programme from 8pm to 12.15am. Carriages at 12:30am.
Venue: The Wallace Collection, Hertford House, Manchester Square, London W1U 3BN.

Tickets: we kindly ask for a donation of £500 per ticket.
Booking: Tickets can be reserved by contacting Marina Mosyakova at [email protected] or on +44 (0) 759 559 2367.
All proceeds from ticket sales and your generous donations and contributions throughout the even-ing will go towards treating children with life-threatening oncological conditions in Russia – a great and most precious gift.
We hope you will join us for an evening of celebration and to make a lasting difference in the lives of children in desperate need.
