On the night of the seventh of July there was a difficult situation in the Kuban, where a huge number of people left homeless suffered as a result of the flood. A charity auction was held to help Krymsk, thanks to which it was possible to collect a certain amount of money and send it to the victims.
A charity auction was held in Moscow, on the summer terrace in the Tverbul restaurant. The event was organized by the hostess of this institution - Ksenia Sobchak - together with the Fair Life Foundation, Elizaveta Glinka, who is popularly known as Dr. Lisa. Precious and semi-precious jewelry belonging to Ksyusha's friends Polina Kitsenko, Natalya Vodyanova, Miranda Mirianashvili and Ulyana Sergienko were put up for auction.
At the entrance to the chic restaurant "Tverbul" they sold wreaths of flowers for charity at an affordable price of two thousand rubles to all who came. More generous guests could buy baskets with berries, the price of which was five thousand rubles. The proceeds were sent to the victims in Krymsk.
The event was attended by: Ekaterina Odintsova - TV presenter and journalist, Lyudmila Nerusova - mother Ksenia Sobchak, famous designer Masha Tsigal, Natalya Sidneyeva - CEO of Dozhd TV channel, Polina Kitsenko - socialite and owner of fashion boutiques, designer Ulyana Sergienko, Mikhail Kusnirovich Bosco CEO, singer Miranda Mirianashvili and other famous personalities. The presenters were Igor Wernick and Ksyusha Sobchak. Before the auction, Ksenia announced the release of singer Sati Casanova, who performed the Kabardian lyric song.
The first lot turned out to be earrings with pearls from Yana Raskovalova, who is a famous jewelry designer. The hosts of this event put on earrings at a starting price of forty thousand rubles. Earrings went to Anton Abugov, First Deputy Prime Minister of AFK Sistema, who immediately offered half a million rubles. Then Miroslava Duma’s bracelet was put up for auction, which was eventually sold for five hundred thousand rubles, as well as a platinum ring with many diamonds.
As a result of the charity auction, we managed to raise just over sixteen million rubles. By the way, this is the second such auction, a little earlier more than eight million rubles were collected by the Red October gallery. Famous contemporary artists Alexander Vinogradov, Sergey Bratkov, Semyon Faybisovich, Alexey Kallima, Vladimir Dubosarsky and Oleg Kulik and young authors Valery Chtaka, Arseny Zhilyaev and Yegor Koshelev exhibited their works. In total, about fifty works participated in the auction. All collected money is transferred to the accounts of organizations that provide assistance in the disaster area.
