Charity Calendar 2022 participants: who are they and why do they join forces?

Elvira Gavrilova, CEO of the international advertising company Amillidius, is confident that doing good on the eve of the New Year holidays is a long-standing good tradition, especially for those who need our help. Therefore, Elvira Gavrilova created the Charity Calendar. Every year, on the Day of St. Nicholas, a bright thematic calendar is published, the heroes of which are successful Ukrainians. The theme of the calendar changes from year to year. This time, the topic was the coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, all models posed in protective masks made of natural flowers. The purpose of this project is to raise funds for the needs of orphanages and for gifts from these children. Every year Elvira’s team and project participants come to orphanages to give a piece of miracle to every child.
