A Special Concert for Ukraine at the Mizner Park Amphitheater A Veteran-friendly, Boca Raton-flavored, Ukrainian Cultural and Fundraising Event Boca Raton, Florida- Our Veterans know what it is like to fight for Freedom and Democracy. The same is now true of every Ukrainian. BUILDING BRIDGES TO UKRAINE SONGFEST FOR VETS III - UKRAINE RELIEF will raise money through donations that will be sent to Ukrainians in urgent need of our help and support. This daylong affair will include Ukrainian food, beer, art, and music, as well as classic rock. The event takes place from 2 to 11 p.m. on May 21 at the Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton and is free to the public. The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post #9610 and The Lahoud Team at Rockefeller Capital as well as the American Legion and many companies and individuals are the proud sponsors of SONGFEST FOR VETS III , which will also honor American Veterans on this Armed Forces Day! The four key fundraising goals are to: • Support the Kyiv Angels, a group of volunteers who go from building to building in Kyiv and the surrounding towns searching for mobility-challenged elderly who were left behind by refugees running for their lives. There is a long list of needed items, and this group of volunteers purchases and distributes these vital supplies, themselves. Donors will see the results of their contributions quickly and potentially even during the show. • Support Ukrainian farmers. It’s planting season in Ukraine and farmers are desperately trying to plant the crops the World is dependent on, including wheat and potatoes. Your donations will go to provide alternative fuel sources so these folks we all depend on can plant corn and fruit, as well as dry the harvested wheat. • Support Civilians near and on the front lines of the fight, right now, in Luhansk, Donetsk, and all the nearby affected areas as well. Razom-Together make camo nets, collecting medical and other supplies, and even paint Javelin missiles in honor of the fallen and to keep soldiers' motivation on the rise. • Supporting a farm in the suburbs of Kyiv that is sheltering more than 200 pets that have been separated from their families. Every day more animals arrive. Your donations will go directly provide for the care and feeding of these orphaned pets. Hundreds more animals like these need to be transported to the farm, fed, and cared for every day. Performers at the event include acclaimed tribute bands: KISS Alive; Erasmith, which channels Aerosmith; and Shoot to Thrill, which conjures up AC/DC. Amazing Classic rockers Shovelhed also will be on hand. **Miss Ukraine International will be there*** The Nam Knights, VFW Riders, VFW Auxiliary, American Legion Riders, Sons of the Legion and the NOBOs will converge for Trident Thunder at 5:00pm Palm Beach County Mayor Robert Weinroth will speak at 5:30 pm Make a difference! Donate to support veterans, support Ukraine, and support freedom. Spend an entertaining afternoon honoring and helping those who fought for our freedom in the past and those fighting for our freedom now. Help ensure that the wounded, disabled, the elderly and even all those orphaned animals have the support they need. Your donations will definitely help!
