SUMMARY:In the Blue of the Sky – Show Your Support for Ukraine's Children at Upcoming Ukrainian Music Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:In the Blue of the Sky\nShow Your Support for Ukraine’s Children at Upcoming Ukrainian Music Fundraiser \nJune 5th\, 7:30 p.m.\nFollen Church\, Lexington \nTICKETS \nDear Friend of Ukraine! \nOn June 5th\, our community will gather at Follen Church in Lexington for an evening of Ukrainian classical music and an act of collective care for children who have lost everything to a war that has not yet ended. \nThe concert is called In the Blue of the Sky\, and it is a benefit for Common Man for Ukraine. Since 2022\, this 501(c)(3) has delivered more than 4.5 million pounds of food and supplies to Ukrainian families and has given 1\,600 children and widowed mothers a space to grieve and heal. Attached is more information about the programs they offer and here is a link to a recent WGBH Jim & Margery interview that featured CMFU co-founders Lisa Mure and Susan Mathison discussing in detail one of their trips. \nThe proceeds of this concert will fund a three-week trauma counseling retreat in Poland for a cohort of children orphaned by the conflict. Art and nature therapy\, physical activity\, trained Ukrainian mental health professionals\, and time with other children who understand. \nOur goal is $40\,000\, enough to fund a full retreat. We are raising $15\,000 of that from local sponsors\, and I am writing to ask you to consider being one of them. \nSponsorship starts at $250 (Community Partner) and scales through Silver at $500\, Gold at $1\,500\, and Platinum at $2\,500. Each level carries meaningful public recognition scaled to the contribution\, including logo placement\, program advertising\, complimentary tickets\, and acknowledgment from the stage. Full details are in the attached packet. \nEvery dollar of your sponsorship goes through the Plymouth Rotary Foundation (EIN 59-3841932) and is fully tax-deductible. CMFU operates through a trusted Rotary Club network in Poland and Ukraine\, people who have been delivering aid since the war began. The path from your gift to a child in need is short\, direct\, and documented. \nPlease let me know if there is any additional information I can send you in support of this request. A response by May 22nd\, two weeks before June 5\, would allow us to include your business in the event program. \nThank you for considering this. Your participation will be felt here in our community and\, a few months from now\, by a child in Ukraine who gets three weeks to simply be a child again. \nAlex Gamota\nBoard Member\, Ukrainian American Educational Center of Boston\nCo-Founder\, Ukrainian Music Initiative\nTreasurer/Board Member\, Vira + Friends\nalexg@ukrainiancenter.org\n+1.617.515.0721 DD
