Concert for Ukraine

In accordance with CDC guidelines, masks are strongly recommended for this event.

Stand With Ukraine as members of the Hendersonville music community join together to raise funds in a benefit Concert for Ukraine on June 25 at Trinity Presbyterian Church. Produced by John Ariatti and Tom Fisch, all proceeds from the concert will go to The International Rescue Committee (www.rescue.org) and Razom (razomforukraine.org).

The concert will feature Ukrainian speakers along with performances by well-known Western North Carolina artists Aaron Burdett, Mare Carmody & Ellen Trnka, Tom Fisch, and Jeff Michels Folkadelic Jam.

The International Rescue Committee's team has quickly deployed to neighboring Poland, where they are working with partners to assist arriving refugees. They are also working with partners inside Ukraine, supporting the evacuation of women and children and providing emergency aid to people who had to flee their homes.

Razom (which means "together" in Ukrainian) is working with volunteers and partners in the US, Poland and Ukraine to address the emergency medical needs of people in Ukraine. Their focus is on getting tactical medical kits (first aid) to the people who need them. To effectively distribute these supplies quickly, they are also providing certain non-medical supplies that enable the distribution of the aid through accurate communication and navigation.

For those who can’t attend and would like to donate, you can mail a check made out to Razom, Inc. or International Rescue Committee, to Concert For Ukraine PO Box 271 Flat Rock, NC 28731.
