OUR SHARED IMPACT - LET’S SUM UP THE PAST YEAR TOGETHER! 🍷

Despite the many events we hosted together in 2025, we managed to raise a significant amount for charitable support for Ukraine.
Over 210,000 UAH, to keep it short! You can find the detailed figures on the slides.

Thank you for being involved in our projects and initiatives. We’re truly grateful for the chance to build a community with you that contributes to things that really matter.
