Благодійний фонд імені Олександра Жолобова
Those who light the stars. These are people who share their warmth, friendship, willingness to help. They are ready to support at the beginning of the journey, and then prompt, help improve, discover new names, without fear that someone will become more popular, successful, more famous. Who is not only talented, but also knows how to see the spark of talent in other people. There are few of them, and therefore they remain with us forever — in our hearts, in our memories, they inspire to do good.
This is exactly the kind of person Alexander Zholobov was — a multifaceted personality, with bright ideas of a media manager and producer, a talented musician and artist, the creator of a number of television projects: «A1», «GTV», the TV channel «Zdorovya» ... The list of what was invented, implemented, successfully developed thanks to Alexander Zholobov and became a cultural heritage is very long.
He combined the opportunity to build working and friendly relationships to help everyone who needs support, and friends of this amazing person for 8 years continue to do what Alexander lived for — to light new stars!
The Alexander Zholobov Charitable Foundation, created by his friends, — is an opportunity for young talents from different parts of our country to express themselves, be heard and demonstrate their artistic works. And it's not just prizes and gifts to the winners. For young Ukrainians, it is recognition, confidence in their abilities, understanding that their work is valuable, their inspiration gives people joy. It is motivation to study and work, because success is not only talent, but also tremendous hard work.
The war did not stop the work of the Foundation. On the contrary, right now our girls and boys need support so much. Support from those who know: they are — our future, and this future should be bright, free, beautiful. Thousands of children from different cities and towns of Ukraine send their drawings to participate in competitions organized by the Oleksandr Zholobov Charitable Foundation. Their paintings are different. Today, children draw not only the blue peaceful sky, but also war, explosions, portraits of our defenders. And we look at these works and dream of one thing — that the dark colors leave the drawings, and the sea, flowers, sun, mom and dad appear. And that we, looking at their paintings, cry only with happiness for the representatives of the younger generation.
Young musicians, singers, dancers come to Odessa to take part in competitions, to present their skills to both their peers and adults. After all, art heals, gives hope, allows us to forget about all the negative things that have entered our lives. This is the mission of the Charitable Foundation — to give light and hope. Keep doing what Oleksandr Zholobov did.
During the war, the Odessa region received hundreds of thousands of people from other regions of Ukraine, where hostilities were taking place. And the fund's leaders could not stand aside. Bright toys, children's holidays and just communication — all this brings smiles to the faces of children who witnessed terrible events and were forced to leave their homes.
«We must do everything possible to make the bright dreams of our children come true,» — says the founder of the fund, Honored Journalist of Ukraine Aleksandr Kozyr. And these are not just words, but real actions, the embodiment of the principles by which the man lived, whose name the charitable fund now bears.
New ideas and plans, new acquaintances, nominees and winners, awards and gifts — the management and friends of the fund do not have a day off so that every day for representatives of the younger generation of residents of our country is a holiday, not overshadowed even by military events.
