“Getting financial support to Ukraine is crucial at this time,” Arizae Foundation Co-founder Sara Kurtzig said.
“Arizae Foundation provides reliable, effective and consistent nonprofit support for Ukraine. One hundred percent of every ticket sale and donation on our website goes straight to Ukraine to support the people with what they need at that time. Their needs are changing all the time - shelters, defense equipment, communication devices, medicine, etc. - and our foundation is able to be direct, quick and nimble with our targeted, critical aid thanks to our donors!!”
The concert is among several fundraising events the foundation has held.
Donations have already helped Arizae create fully equipped shelters in Western Ukraine, deliver medical supplies and humanitarian aid to those in need in Kharkiv and Kyiv, and provide supplies to soldiers including bulletproof vests and helmets, night vision systems and patrol drones.
Arizae Foundation is thrilled to be partnering with Sweetwater Music Hall, Amber Morris and JustAnswer to offer a very special evening of “Soul & Solidarity” for Ukraine. These incredible professional musicians from Marin are returning home for this epic show to entertain you and raise funds for Ukraine. Events like these highlight the best of humanity. Thank you Marin!”
