AKSENYUSHKINA FOUNDATION and hART OCEAN FOUNDATION made a meaningful impact at the International Coastal Cleanup 2026 at South Pointe Park in September 2026.
More than 75 volunteers removed 828 pounds of trash and debris in just two hours during the cleanup, which was hosted by hART OCEAN FOUNDATION in collaboration with the Aksenyushkina Foundation. The two foundations came together around a shared commitment to community, environmental stewardship, creativity, and compassion. Families, children, and local organizations joined in to make a positive difference on Miami Beach.

Art was also incorporated into the environmental action through an interactive activation created by hART Ocean founder and artist Michelle Hart. She created a heart mandala using collected trash and debris, featuring artwork by a thirteen‑year‑old student artist from Japan.
The Aksenyushkina Foundation was founded by animal‑rights activist Radmila Lolly. Radmila, a tall and striking presence, divides her time between writing original music, performing opera, and developing a series of books about a femme fatale named Karina.
Originally from Moscow, Radmila immigrated first to London and then to the United States. She has lived in Miami for many years and is involved with many of its cultural institutions, including museums and opera. She is well known for sitting courtside at Miami Heat games wearing dresses she designs from Heat jerseys. Her observations on courtside fashion can be found on her Instagram account. Her couture clothing company, Eltara Casata, has designed dresses for clients ranging from Ari Nicole Parker to Jessica Cristobal. The name Aksenyushkina is a tribute to her mother’s family.
Recent beach cleanups organized by the Aksenyushkina Foundation have brought together community volunteers, members of the Ritz‑Carlton Hotel and Residences, and staff from South Beach Hotel, giving participants firsthand experience with marine debris and ocean protection.
The Aksenyushkina Foundation is dedicated to helping children build a healthier and more compassionate future through education, the arts, and meaningful connections with animals. Its values of love, kindness, and compassion aim to transform how children view creativity and the world around them.
“We believe that experiencing unconditional love at a young age can transform lives.”
