On April 30, a truly impressive and large-scale event took place in the chic celebration space in Veshki near Moscow – the Charity Gala Dinner “Heroes of our Time” and the auction “We are close”. The event was held in collaboration with Ekaterina Velichkina, Executive Director of the International Women’s Union for Media Planning and Public Relations, philanthropist, philanthropist, public figure, media blogger with an audience of 2.5 million people, and the We Are Close Foundation. It was an unforgettable evening where goodness met art!
The landmark Gala Dinner brought together stars of theater, cinema, music, heroes of Russia, government officials and all those who support important social initiatives, and the funds raised at the event went to the treatment of seriously ill children, rehabilitation of participants in their military education and assistance to their families.

The event was marked by a solemn reception with a buffet and live music and a personal welcome address to the guests by Ekaterina Velichkina and Olga Lukmanova.

The charity dinner “Heroes of our Time” was held with the support of the stars.
The gala dinner ended with a solemn presentation of diplomas to organizations and individuals who have made an invaluable contribution to charity.
Comment by Ekaterina Velichkina:
“Our evening is not just an event, but a bridge between those who need help and those who are ready to provide it. Together we change lives. Thanks to this landmark event, I realized once again that people with a big heart don’t have an understanding of numbers, places, or any other measurable things – such people live by meanings. They live with a big heart. They live by deeds, not by words. Now all that remains for us is to do a lot of work to implement everything that we have done and what we have in mind.
I am grateful to everyone who remained caring and came to support us! Those who came to unite, it’s not for nothing that they say – Ekaterina Velichkina unites great people around her. And every person in my environment is great! I am grateful that I live this life and can help, do small but good things. Because I know how hard it can be sometimes and how important it is not to remain indifferent to those who really need help!”
The honorary guests of the event were: heroes of Russia — those who inspire with their courage; representatives of the Government, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Ministry of Defense — partners of social initiatives; patrons, media personalities, business leaders — those who believe in the power of unification.
We hope that such charitable initiatives will become a good tradition that will continue to unite people with kind hearts and good intentions.
