Grab your friends and family for a fun-filled evening you won't forget. Don't miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in Ukrainian culture and ring in the New Year in style. Mark your calendars for this exciting event!
Come join Ukraine Forward and the Ukrainian American Educational Center of Boston for our annual Ukrainian Malanka Winter Ball fundraiser. Enjoy a delicious meal and Zabava-style dancing as you help raise funds to save Ukrainian lives impacted by the war.
Our goal is to raise $45,000 towards the purchase of evacuation vehicles and tactical medicine that Ukrainian defenders and combat medics desperately need!
The Boston Community is #StayingStrongToSupportUkraine. Net proceeds from this event will purchase resources for evacuation. This event will feature live music from the New York-based band "Anna-Maria".
