The 29th International Charity Golf Tournament, held in honor of International Children's Day, will take place on May 31 at the Moscow Country Club in Nakhabino, Moscow Region. The event is organized by GlavUpDK under the MFA of Russia, with the proud support of VTB Bank (PJSC).
As the oldest charity golf tournament in Russia, this annual event has become a tradition that brings together foreign diplomats, government officials, business leaders, artists, athletes, and golf enthusiasts. Over nearly three decades, the tournament has raised and donated more than 100 million rubles to provide targeted assistance to children suffering from serious illnesses.
In addition to the excitement of the tournament on the Moscow Country Club's legendary championship course, guests are invited to enjoy the Festival of Family, Childhood, and Healthy Living. With a vibrant lineup of activities for all ages, the festival offers families a chance to have fun and do something meaningful together. There is truly something for everyone.
The festival will kick off with an invigorating warm-up led by Olympic champions, setting the tone for an unforgettable day. Afterward, sports enthusiasts will have the unique opportunity to meet celebrated athletes in an open lecture session, where they will hear inspiring stories from their careers and get the chance to ask burning questions. But that is not all—the lecture hall will also play host to inspiring talks on public speaking, social media promotion, and career guidance.
The Moscow Country Club warmly invites all active leisure fans to put their skills to the test in table tennis, pétanque, and mini-golf. Plus, bouncing on the vibrant trampoline* guarantees endless fun and unforgettable emotions!
Expand your horizons and broaden your personal outlook with interactive master classes from the Festival's partner—the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia. At the Moscow Country Club, children will embark on a fascinating quest called the "Diplomatic Journey," while adults can dive into an exciting team challenge: a linguistic and cultural quiz.
Creative souls will have the chance to shine in our master classes. Guided by skilled artisans, guests will craft a magical array of enchanting items: from wizard wands and fairy wings to woodland crowns, homemade musical instruments, custom gingerbread, amulet dolls, and so much more. Those eager to channel their inner restorer can jump into workshops featuring mosaic-making, gilding, plaster work, and bringing art fragments back to life.
For those looking to stay ahead in the tech world, the Coddy Programming School will offer riveting master classes on Minecraft and Roblox Studio. Plus get inspired by a master class on content creation from the Razgon project (Gazprom-Media Holding).
Guests can also look forward to: an introduction to the basics of strategy and rules of the ancient game of Go, an interactive game inspired by the animated series Asya and Vasya specially designed for the youngest festival visitors, and memorable gifts from the Riki Group of Companies.
The Festival program will be accompanied by a vibrant music concert featuring popular performers. Taking the stage at the Moscow Country Club will be MINAEVA, Garik Pogorelov, Tima Akimov, Pasha Rudenko, and the rising young rock band METALFOREST. A unique flavor to the evening will bring the ethno-group OYME.
Adding to the festive spirit, guests can enjoy face painting and personalize their outfits with one-of-a-kind designs at the customization station.
The festival is proudly supported by an incredible lineup of sponsors: Children's Radio, MEL Media, the Riki Group of Companies, the construction and restoration company Praktika, the Creative Workshop of Bogdan Lavrinenko, Kolomna Pastila, the Bylina artisan studio, the 10 Zaytsev Gingerbread Museum, the custom brand SLAVNO, the Moscow Go Federation, Razgon—a project by Gazprom-Media Holding, the Coddy Programming School, Balyki Starorusskie, the gourmet meat collective Velemi, and Appleton Ciders.
