Last summer, Cupertino Odd Fellows teamed up the the Northern California Peace Corps and created a wonderful Ukrainian Sunflower Festival that raised $10,000 for a non-profit in Ukraine that supports refugees and internally displaced people. The funds raised helped house 113 refugees, including the purchase of furniture and repairing of windows in the building.
Following the success of last year’s fundraiser, we are hosting it once again. Our goal is to raise a similar amount of money as last year to facilitate the purchase of medical supplies and equipment in collaboration with Ed’s Friends, an organization founded by Ukraine RPCV Edward Ma. We hope to have him in person at the fundraiser to speak about the work that he and his organization are doing to support civilians affected by the war in Ukraine.
Of course, no Ukrainian fundraiser would be complete without food and entertainment! Guests will be treated to a delicious and traditional Ukrainian 3-course meal along with traditional music and dance. Ukrainian vendors will also be on hand. Even if you can’t attend, we invite you to make a donation in support of this important cause.
