#InThisTogether: outcomes of the first charity concert to support self-isolated elderly people

The Roscongress Foundation organized its first online charity concert. The money raised by Uma2rman performance will be used to support self-isolated elderly people and persons with reduced mobility who are at risk during the spread of coronavirus. As of 19 April, the total amount of donation reached 96,000 roubles. Fund raising is underway. Over 100,000 people watched the concert online. The next online charity concert will be arranged for the Victory Day.
