We invite you to join us at the 2022 Annual Gala where we will collectively honor the many unsung heroes who have selflessly dedicated themselves to helping Ukraine and Ukrainians under attack.

Since Russia’s unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, countless individuals have worked tirelessly on numerous fronts and have dedicated tremendous resources to support the fight of Ukrainians for their sovereignty and survival. The Ukrainian Institute of America salutes these individuals and organizations for their devotion and commitment.

Over the past seven months, the Institute has truly become Where the World Meets Ukraine, serving as a hub of information, a center of continuous activity and a beacon of cultural promotion. We have steadfastly supported the efforts of those who assist Ukrainians impacted by the war. Through countless programs and partnerships, we have advanced our mission of showcasing the very best of Ukrainian culture and heritage for the world. We have worked closely with our friends in the diplomatic corps to welcome numerous dignitaries from around the world to our beautiful home on NYC’s Museum Mile, giving them a glimpse into the riches of Ukrainian culture and the many achievements of Ukrainian people. And we have hosted Ukrainians from all walks of life, so that they may experience the power and hospitality of our diaspora.

With the generosity of our donors and benefactors, the Board and Staff of the UIA commit to continue these important activities in supporting Ukraine while advancing our mission.

ALONG WITH OUR MASTER OF CEREMONIES, PETER CHARCHALIS, WE LOOK FORWARD TO GATHERING WITH YOU AT THIS YEAR’S GALA TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND TO CELEBRATE OUR INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY AND ALL OF OUR FRIENDS, OLD AND NEW.
