All net proceeds will be directed toward RCWS charitable programs. Founded in 1926, the RCWS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children at risk in Russia. Among RCWS projects are educational scholarships for orphans (currently over 80 students), medical treatment for children with severe facial deformities (over 200 patients receive surgeries annually), assistance to orphanages, rehabilitation programs for children with special needs, a "Yolka" (Christmas tree) party in Moscow for over 1,000 disadvantaged children visiting from many areas of Russia.

The Petroushka Ball has made a tradition of featuring two distinguished orchestras – the Lester Lanin Orchestra in the Grand Ballroom, coupled with the Barynia Balalaika Orchestra in the Terrace Room. This year, the Moscow Gypsy Army, led by Vasily Romani, joined the roster for a series of thrilling performances.
