UKRAINIAN CRISIS:
The main goal of the event is to raise awareness and funds to help Ukrainians impacted by the war. Over 12 million people have been displaced from their homes in Ukraine due to bombardment by the Russian army. Many people are in desperate need of shelter, transportation, basic hygiene supplies and food, and urgent medical care. This is a true tragedy impacting the entire world, not only those surviving and fighting on the grounds in Ukraine.

WHERE WILL THE MONEY RAISED GO?
All funds collected through donations and fundraising will go towards World Central Kitchen (WCK) specific efforts in Ukraine. WCK is a US based worldwide non-profit organization that has built the largest food relief operation in Ukraine. They provide meals to people remaining in Ukraine in the midst of the conflict and feed Ukrainian families fleeing to neighboring countries. WCK serves in big cities, small villages, and even Russian-occupied territory, reaching more than 230 cities and towns in Ukraine. All money donated will specifically benefit their effort in Ukraine.
