A charity evening in support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was held in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The funds raised will be used to produce tourniquets and purchase tactical first-aid kits for combat medics of the 72nd Mechanized Brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians.
This was reported by Valerii Baltsevych and the charitable organization Lastivka Dobra.
“We sincerely thank everyone who joined, came, helped, donated, sang, danced, and simply stood with us on this special evening! Thanks to you, we were able to raise funds for the production of tourniquets and the purchase of tactical medical kits for the combat medics and defenders of the 72nd Brigade named after the Black Zaporozhians,” shared singer Olichka, who also hosted the evening.
The initiative was led by Valerii Baltsevych and his team. The organizers successfully combined a warm atmosphere, generosity, and patriotism. The program included a performance by Zabava Band, a Ukrainian song concert by Olichka, delicious food, a video presentation by tourniquet manufacturer Aronia, raffles, and a live broadcast from the frontline.
During the event, a number of prizes were raffled off, including a five-day stay at a villa in Cape Coral, Florida (courtesy of Splash Vacation Properties), permanent makeup gift certificates from Ageless Look PMU, a set of natural candles from Kuper Candles, and more.
“We are grateful to Ukrainians who unite for victory! Deep thanks to our compatriots in the U.S. who continue to actively support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and refuse to remain indifferent. This is a true example of the unity of the Ukrainian community in pursuit of a shared goal—bringing Victory closer,” commented Mykhailo Prodanchuk.
Special thanks were extended to Aronia—a Ukrainian tourniquet manufacturer saving soldiers’ lives—as well as to Father Ivan Mazuryk for his blessing, to the volunteer women who prepared food, and to all participants for their solidarity.
The evening also featured a raffle, with the grand prize being a five-day stay at a villa in Cape Coral, Florida, from Splash Vacation Properties.
“Every contribution is a life saved. Every action is a step toward Victory,” emphasized Olichka.
