BGV Charity Fund acts as the general partner of the All-Ukrainian Rhythmic Gymnastics Tournament “Olympic Hopes,” which is held annually in Zhytomyr. The Fund has been supporting this event for the second year in a row, confirming its consistent commitment to the development of children’s and youth sports in Ukraine.

In 2024, the tournament brought together 230 participants from various cities across the country. And in April 2025, the competition in Zhytomyr united more than 550 gymnasts from 12 regions of Ukraine, including teams from Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Zakarpattia, and other areas. The participants ranged from the youngest athletes, starting at age 5, to masters of sport up to age 21.

The event was organized by the NGO School of Rhythmic Gymnastics “Olympic Hopes”, with Marina Semeniuk, an international FIG judge, serving as the head judge.

BGV Charity Fund not only provided organizational support for the tournament but also prepared valuable prizes for the winners, awarding athletes for their outstanding achievements.

“At BGV Charity Fund, we believe that supporting children and young people is an investment in the future of a strong and dignified country. The ‘Olympic Hopes’ tournament is not just about sports — it’s about developing leadership qualities, team spirit, and respect for hard work,” said Oleg Pastushchak, Executive Director of the Fund.

“In such challenging times for our country, events like this inspire hope, unite communities, and lift spirits. That’s why the help of philanthropists is so important,” emphasized Vitalii Bunechko, Head of Zhytomyr Regional Military Administration.

By supporting events like this, BGV Charity Fund promotes not only the physical development of young people but also helps shape a strong, healthy, and ambitious generation — the future of our country.
