Canada's National Ukrainian Festival made ribbons so people could show their support for those in Ukraine. They gave out the ribbons in exchange for donations for the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund. In total, they gave out around 500 ribbons and were able to raise $3390.
They presented the donation to representatives from the Family Fund this morning and Jim Perchaluk, President of the Ukrainian Folk Arts Centre, gave an update on the fund.
With the donation from CNUF, the Parkland Ukrainian Family Fund has now grown to over $125,000. We'd like to thank all the organizations like the Ukrainian Festival, and all the donations that people in the parkland have made to the fund.
The fund is getting ready to accept their first family from Ukraine in the first half of May. For More information about the fund, call Larry at 204-648-5904, or Karen at 204-648-3567.
