Since its inception in 1965, the Petroushka Ball has been one of New York's most vibrant and elegant charitable events, attended by over 700 guests. Past Petroushka Ball events have featured leading soloists of the Metropolitan Opera, the American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Bolshoi Theater, and other prominent companies.
The success of the Petroushka Ball is contingent upon the on-going participation of local and international businesses, as well as RCWS’ patrons.
Support the RCWS’ educational programs in the US and be a part of the Petroushka Ball legacy by purchasing tickets to the Ball, placing advertisements in Petroushka Ball journal, supplying auction & raffle prizes or products for event gift bags, or by generously making a contribution.

For information regarding sponsorships, ads, auction, raffle & gift bag items, or other contributions, please contact RCWS at 212-473-6263 or [email protected].
Founded in 1926, RCWS is a 501 c 3 US non-profit organization and all contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law (EIN 13-5562332). 100% of donations go directly to support the RCWS charitable programs as our administrative expenses are covered through internal sources.
