The Russian Children's Welfare SocietyThe Russian Children's Welfare Society has been helping disadvantaged Russian children in Europe, South America and Russia since our establishment in New York City nearly 80 years ago. In the years that have followed, the original $3.50 gathered in the first meeting continued to grow. To date, the RCWS has raised over $15,000,000 and continues to annually exceed fundaraising expectations. As the flow of Russian immigrants slowed, the RCWS refocused its mission to include enhancing the lives of vulnerable children in Russia. Following the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia's infrastructure has been in transition, placing children at risk. As a result, hundreds of thousands of children need our help. Too many children in too many parts of Russia are without adequate medical attention, education, vocational training and basic care.

Since then, the Ball has become one of New York Society's most vibrant and anticipated annual events, attracting upwards of 800 dinner and dancing guests.

Danila Cooper - dance of the Russian Nobility
"Daniel Cooper" (also sometimes spelled as "Danila Kuper" or "Daniel Kupor") is the dance of the Russian Nobility during Napoleonic wars (in Russian version, "Danilo Kupor") was an actual dance - to be more precise, contradance, an old English dance characterized by quick and easy movements. F.F. Wiegel in his "Memoirs" (part 1, M., 1864, p. 62, first published in "Russky Vestnik", 1856) wrote that "One of these contradances was named a Danilo Kupor, probably after its composer, a certain Englishman Cooper".
