"Who If Not Us" is an NFL 360 documentary about the Ukrainian League of American Football players who joined the frontline during the 2022 full-scale invasion in Ukraine.
Admission: We kindly encourage a donation of ~$20 (or whatever you are comfortable with) for admission at the door (cash/Venmo/PayPal/Zelle).
These donations will go toward purchasing a drone for Ukrainian defenders (to be used for defensive/non-lethal purposes), as part of the efforts of Roman Boguslawski, who has been fundraising for drones for Ukraine in honor of his late brother Danylo Boguslawski who fought in the war and was killed in 2022. Danylo's story is featured in this film.
This video shares more about these fundraising efforts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLucFUy13-Y
We will have some beverages and light snacks for sale before the event - all proceeds will go to support Ukraine.
We hope you can join us to watch this important film, to honor Ukrainian defenders who have lost their lives for Ukraine's freedom, talk with one of the film's producers, make some connections and fundraise for Ukrainian defenders.
