Charity auction to support our country in the difficult days of war, which took place on 11.08.2023 in Kyiv.
One of the main charity events of this year has just ended in the capital of Ukraine. The story of solidarity and kindness unfolded in the luxurious halls of Fairmont Grand Hotel. The event, in the form of an exquisite gala dinner and an exciting concert featuring the brightest stars of the Ukrainian stage, brought together not only the business elite, but also heroes of charity, leaders of large businesses, representatives of international companies, as well as brave workers of charitable foundations and honorary embassy members.
The purpose of this noble undertaking was to express deep gratitude to foreign allies who put their hearts and resources into supporting our country during difficult wartime days. The solemn event came to life thanks to the efforts of the Charitable Foundation “Format 20”, the Public Organization “CrimeaUA”, Ukraine 2.0, and the Ukrainian Center for International Partnership. The concert was supported by the football club “Maestro”, the International Association of Volunteers and Displaced Persons, SIC Global, and the Public Organization “City of Power”.
Among the lots provided by charitable organizations, one could see: military artifacts, works of art, beautiful paintings by Ukrainian artists, and memorabilia: a photograph signed by Olga Kharlan, a postage stamp signed by Zaluzhny, and even the Ukrainian flag signed by Budanov. The auction was accompanied by a friendly atmosphere, and the average price of each lot exceeded 40 thousand hryvnias. The organizers enthusiastically talked about how the collected funds will be directed to support various charitable initiatives, including the purchase of a digital histological scanner for a children's oncology center and programs aimed at supporting veterans and displaced persons.
This is just the beginning of an exciting saga of planned charity auctions, which will be held until the end of the year. Upcoming events are expected in London, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Tokyo, and Seoul.
