New Year's Eve Fundraiser Brings Community Together to Support Life-Saving Equipment for Ukraine

The Washington Ukrainian Humanitarian Center welcomed 2026 with a New Year’s Eve fundraising celebration that combined community, culture, and purpose. The event marked another successful project, with all funds raised designated for the purchase of defibrillators for Ukraine.

Guests included longtime supporters returning for their third year, as well as first-time attendees discovering the Center and Ukrainian culture for the first time. The room reflected a diverse and growing community united around a shared mission.

We were especially honored to have Ukrainian defenders join us for the celebration. Their presence was meaningful and served as a powerful reminder of the real people behind our work.Families of all ages participated, with several tables bringing together

Families of all ages participated, with several tables bringing together three generations, highlighting the lasting commitment of our supporters and the values passed from one generation to the next.

As we close out 2025, we are grateful for the continued support of our community. Thanks to this event, the Washington Ukrainian Humanitarian Center will move forward with its mission to provide life-saving defibrillators to Ukraine.

We look ahead to 2026 with appreciation and optimism, committed to hosting meaningful events that strengthen our community and create real impact where it is needed most.
