Dr. Andrij Baran president of the local UCCA chapter said: “Past festivals helped Ukrainian children, wounded soldiers in need of medical aid, and troops in need of safety equipment. Previous fundraisers allowed the group to purchase a vehicle used to transfer international humanitarian aid from Poland and the United States to different regions of operation in Ukraine. The purchase was documented and monitored through the delivery cycle.
