The phrase «Stronger Together» is more than just a slogan; Ukrainians prove it every day, and yesterday was no exception. During the Charity Fair of the UCU Business School, we, along with the LvBS Community and our friends, were able to raise approximately 850,000 hryvnias. We are immensely grateful to SoftServe company and its founders for their significant contribution of 600,000 hryvnias to the fund.
Over a few months, we have been able to raise $65,000 for the Oleg Vorobyov Scholarship Fund. We are now only $10,000 away from reaching our goal of $75,000, which represents just 14% of the total amount.
We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who attended our charity event celebrating the 15th anniversary of the UCU Business School yesterday, and made contributions of all sizes, from purchasing tickets to participating in the charity lottery or workshops, to supporting our Ukrainian entrepreneurs at the charity fair, each of whom also donated a amount of their sales to the fund.
From the very beginning, the event was dedicated not only to the 15th anniversary of the UCU Business School, but also to honoring the memory of Hero Oleg Vorobyov, a student of the MSc in Technology Management program at the UCU Business School. Oleg was a participant in the Anti-Terrorist Operation in eastern Ukraine and continued to defend his country during the beginning of the full-scale war. On May 30, 2022, Oleg Vorobyov was killed by a Russian terrorist in the fight for the freedom and independence of our state.
«Oleg Vorobyov gave his life so that we could live, dream, and create. By filling the Fund in his memory, we will be able to award one scholarship annually in Oleg’s name to a student who will join the ranks of leaders and create the future of Ukraine alongside us,» noted Yaryna Boychuk, CEO of LvBS.
The Oleg Vorobyov Scholarship Fund will generate an annual scholarship for future UCU students. We encourage you to make a contribution to the Fund through the link and join in its growth: https://supporting.ucu.edu.ua/donate/?order=oleg_vorobyov.
Soon, we will share photos and emotions from this unforgettable day on February 19, 2023, with you.
