Music, art, and generosity came together once again at the Brazilian Ambassador’s residence to support children in need of mobility and rehabilitation.

On February 7, 2025, Rotary Club Moscow International held its second RestartU charity gala at the residence of H.E. Rodrigo Baena Soares, Ambassador of Brazil to the Russian Federation, under the gracious patronage of Mrs. Luciana Baena Soares. Themed around the many "Faces of Brazil", the evening combined cultural celebration with a humanitarian mission.

Culture, Color & Connection

Guests were immersed in the vibrancy of Brazilian spirit:

  • Samba dance performances
  • Italian opera arias
  • Japanese theatrical art
  • Live Brazilian music, vocals, and Batucada rhythms

Each performance contributed to a deeper appreciation of Brazil’s cultural richness and created an unforgettable atmosphere of unity and support.

Progress Report

Thanks to our generous sponsors, who covered all event costs — including entertainment, catering, and venue — every ruble collected from ticket sales, the charity lottery, and the auction was directed to support the RestartU project.

We are proud to announce that the evening’s success made it possible to fund custom-made medical equipment for three children, enabling them to gain new levels of independence and mobility.
