Ukraine Matters

We were honored to serve as a Promotional Partner for the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America and its inspiring “Ukraine Lives!” concert in Berkeley.

For more than a century, the Chorus has preserved and shared Ukraine’s rich musical heritage through the distinctive sound of the bandura, bringing Ukrainian culture to audiences worldwide. We are grateful for this remarkable evening celebrating Ukraine’s history, resilience, and enduring spirit.

Thank you to the performers, organizers, sponsors, and everyone who joined us in keeping Ukrainian culture alive and thriving 💛💙

As a thank-you for your generosity, each $45 also gives you one entry in the charity draw for a “Fortune Favors the Brave” 4-Pack of the rare, precious, and irreplaceable Bakhmut Artwinery wine. Having survived the russian-Ukrainian war, these pieces of history will never be reproduced.
