A unique charity event for disabled children was held in Moscow on October 4, 2009.  The event enabled more 100 children with special needs (those affected by cerebral palsy, with Dawn’s syndrome, genetic diseases, as well as the visually and hearing-impaired) to see the sights of Moscow.
The SPECIAL CARS FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN MINI car rally distinguished this celebration from all others.  The MINI car event enabled the participating children not only to feel that their social abilities were equal to those of their healthy peers, but also to those of the privileged children who ride around the city in especially comfortable cars – the elite BMWs, Volkswagens and Chryslers.
The event began at the Muzeon arts Park , where children of Moscow and Moscow Region together with their parents gathered to partake in the festive atmosphere of the celebration: life-sized puppets, face art masters, paint animators, balloons and cheerful music filled the alleys of the park.  The drum group of the Heroes of Sevastopol Moscow Navy Cadet Corps
demonstrated their skills during the event.as well Following all this, a convoy of 120 Mini Coopers drove the children and their parents around the center of Moscow.  The participants set free their balloons at Vorobyovy Gory (Sparrow Hills).  The rally concluded with a gala concert and other open-air festivities held at the Muzeon arts Park .  The guests were entertained by famous pop groups, magicians and clowns.
This is the first such major event ever held in Russia.
