On August 23, Ukraine’s Flag Day and the eve of Independence Day, we held our fourth charity fair of the year. As it has already become our tradition, we sang beautiful Ukrainian songs and sold a variety of delicious treats and goods—all with the goal of raising funds to purchase vehicles for soldiers of the 93rd Brigade as part of the “50 Pickup Trucks for Kholodnyi Yar” project.
Our wonderful partners at the event were VIA “Kvartyrnyk,” DJ CHOOZN, and the Military Band of the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade “Kholodnyi Yar.”
Together with the performers, volunteers, socially responsible businesses, and local artisans, we raised UAH 222,600 that day. The funds will go toward the purchase of a pickup truck for the 93rd Brigade “Kholodnyi Yar.”
For reference, the total cost of purchasing the pickup truck, transporting it to Ukraine, making the necessary repairs, and equipping it with mud tires is UAH 340,000.
“The main goal of these fairs is to raise resources to purchase pickup trucks for the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade. We are grateful to everyone who is working together to support Ukraine’s Defense Forces,” said Yuriy Tanasiychuk, head of the “APRIL” Foundation.
“And we are already planning another fair. So, stay tuned for updates and join us in raising funds for the pickup trucks,” added Roksolana Mudrak, the fair’s organizer.
