The Roadburg Foundation Is Matching Donations Up To $100,000!

DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!

Winter is coming faster than we think! As we are thinking about swapping car tires for winter ones or comparing different models of snowplows, Ukrainians need help to get through this winter with limited power, heat, and constant bombardments by the Russian Federation. 

Your support is crucial. With the generous support of the Roadburg Foundation, your donations made between September 26th and October 6th will be matched up to $100,000. This means your contribution will have double the impact, providing essential aid to Ukrainians. 

The Ronald S. Roadburg Foundation is a private charitable foundation established in 2021 through the estate of the late Vancouver businessman Ronald Roadburg. The Foundation is rooted in a strong sense of community and responsibility, engaging in an array of philanthropic initiatives in the Jewish and broader communities in British Columbia, across Canada, in Israel, and around the world. We at CUF are grateful to the Roadburg Foundation for supporting the Winterization Program and their leadership in strengthening the bond between our two communities.  

Your donation is part of a larger, impactful initiative. The funds raised will be directed towards our 2024 Winterization Program through the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal (UHA), a joint project between CUF and UCC. This initiative is crucial in addressing the immense challenges faced by Ukrainians under Russia’s violent attacks, particularly during the harsh winter months. 


BUSINESS IN ACTION!

Responsible businesses are the backbone of the Canada-Ukraine Foundation’s ability to deliver effective and impactful programs.   

Perogie Lili is a Ukrainian perogie (varenyk) counter-service restaurant in the Mile End neighborhood of Montreal. Perogie Lili’s team has donated $400 of their sales from their Grand Opening week in August to the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, and they plan to donate on a monthly basis. Thanks to them and other businesses around Canada donating to CUF, we can kickstart our winterization mission to ensure that thousands of Ukrainians have access to essentials during the winter months.
