HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Salt City Brewing and the Newton Rotary Foundation, Inc. are coming together to raise money for Ukraine on Saturday July 16th.
Donations that night will benefit Medical Aid and the Rebuilding of Ukraine, through the UNITED24 charity foundation.
Event host and Ukraine native Mira Clobes said, "When Russia invaded Ukraine, we could not stand aside, and sent around 30 boxes of First Medical Aid supplies to Ukraine with the help of our friends, family, and coworkers. Encouraged by the success of that project, we got an idea to host an event that would help us raise donations for Ukraine."
According to their website, UNITED24 was launched by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the main venue for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine.
Funds will be transferred to the official accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine and allocated by assigned ministries to cover the most pressing needs.
The event will begin at 5 p.m. that evening at Salt City at 514 North Main.
