One of the main activities of the Denis Paramonov Charitable Foundation is to support a healthy lifestyle, attracting the younger generation and not only in sports
In the village of Schaslyve in Kharkivshchyna a whole list of sports sections was opened: soccer, boxing, fitness and a dance circle. In addition, thanks to the Foundation, a modern football field was opened in Shchaslyve, where regional-level sports competitions can be held.
Boxing clubs “SMK SPORT”, which have
already been opened in Kharkiv and the region, Kyiv and Sumy, are developing
very strongly. All trainings here are free of charge, and children willingly
come to do boxing, because their mentors are experienced coaches. And boxing is
one of the best sports that fosters willpower and endurance. The Foundation
also patronizes the champion of Ukraine in boxing Kristina Yushchuk, who trains
in the club “SMK SPORT” in Sumy. In the summer of 2024, thanks to the
Foundation, a new professional ring was installed in this sports club and
various sports equipment was donated for almost 100 thousand UAH. Christina
Yushchuk regularly travels to various competitions and constantly undergoes
training camps with the assistance of the Denis Paramonov Foundation. In the
spring of 2025, experienced boxers Hanna Okhota and Yuliia Stupakova joined the
‘SMK SPORT’ club. Yuliia has already claimed a silver medal in her first
international competition — the International Youth and Junior Boxing
Tournament held in Eger, Hungary. Hanna Okhota, a boxer from the SMK-SPORT club, won silver at the International A-Class Boxing Tournament “Strandja” 2026, held in Sofia, Bulgaria. Аt the end of 2025The SMK-SPORT boxing club family has welcomed a new member — multiple-time national champion Marina Shevchenko. Besides, Kharkiv athlete Artem Brantsyra, who
represented Ukraine at the European Cossack Fighting Championships in May 2024
and the World Kickboxing Championships in October, also receives support and
wins prizes. In April 2025, Artem became the European kickboxing champion, and
in May 2025, he secured multiple prize-winning placements at the European
Cossack Fighting Championship. Today, Artem Brantsyra holds the title of
Honored Master of Sports of Ukraine in kickboxing and is a member of the
national team of Ukraine.
The Foundation also revived the glorious tradition of boating in Bila Tserkva. A section for children has been opened here, where classes are absolutely free of charge. The children even went to a training camp in the Carpathian Mountains and beyond the country to strengthen their skills. The Foundation has also purchased a batch of new boats for water activities. All this together allows children to cultivate the will to win. Thanks to full funding from the Foundation, a reconstructed Youth Sports School (DYuSSh) was opened on the bank of the Ros River in Bila Tserkva, which has become a modern rowing center for children from across the city.
The Foundation pays much attention to providing young athletes with sports equipment. For example, the Foundation donated sets of uniforms for the soccer section working in Sharovka in Kharkiv region. Izium children's and youth sports school named after Tkachenko received as a gift from the Foundation sets of espanders, punching bags with special pneumomechanisms, 10 sets of speed ropes and pneumatic trainers for boxing, as well as a barbell and a barbell bar with a set of dumbbells. Also, this Izium institution received an expensive lawn mower to maintain the soccer field at the stadium of FC Kremenets, where about 100 children train and various competitions are held.
At the same time, Kharkiv Vocational College of Sports received a gift of soccer caps for young soccer players, high-quality balls and special chips for training. Thanks to the Foundation, the children's and youth sports school No. 1 in Bila Tserkva received special equipment for sports: balls for volleyball and basketball, as well as a barbell bench press machine.
In the season 2024 in the Championship of Kharkiv region on soccer started its performances the soccer club from Bogodukhov “NIKA SMK”, the president of which is the philanthropist and founder of the charitable foundation Denis Paramonov. The team is quite well staffed, which gives it the opportunity to be among the leaders of the soccer championship of Kharkiv region. It is noteworthy that this gave a new impetus to the development of children's soccer in Bogodukhov district, because now children are equal to their idols from FC “NIKA SMK”. In addition, many residents of Bogodukhov and the district come to the home games of the soccer club, which allows them to distract themselves from all the problems that now exist in the country. In the 2025 season of the Kharkiv Region Football Championship, FC "NIKA SMK" became the champion. Andrii Shevchenko, President of the Ukrainian Association of Football, awarded Denys Paramonov with a Certificate of Honor in recognition of his significant personal contribution to the development and promotion of football in the Kharkiv region.
