Saturday in Moscow: Hit the Pitch — and Do a Good Deed!

This weekend the weather in Moscow promises to be perfect — just right for a game or two of football (i.e., soccer). On Saturday afternoon join in a mini-tournament to have fun, get in shape, and help a friend.

Men, women, kids of all ages and skill levels are all welcome for a series of seven-a-side matches of 20 minutes each. The tournament will be held at CitySport, a great sports arena in the city center. All of this is to help raise funds to help a colleague and friend, Anna Smolchenko, whose unborn baby has been diagnosed with a rare heart condition. The baby will need a costly operation at birth, and we want to make sure Anna has the funds.

So come and play or cheer on your family and friends. For more information about the game, donations, and the family, see facebook.com/events/897894133667430/. See you on Saturday!

AFP Charity Football Tournament. CitySport. 9 Ukrainsky Bulvar. Metro Kievskaya. Sat. June 4 at 2 p.m.
