16 OUR LIFE • December 2022 On Saturday, September 10, members of UNWLA Branch 88 in Philadelphia took part in the “Americans for Ukraine” fundraiser – a unique classic car show and bazaar that featured more than 300 cars, trucks, and motorcycles, held at the historic Classic Auto Mall in Morgantown, PA. All the proceeds from the event, which was coordinated with the United Ukrainian Relief Committee, were designated for humanitarian aid to victims of the war in Ukraine. The fair opened with the American and Ukrainian national anthems, performed beautifully by the Twin Valley High School Marching Band. The program featured various groups, including the famed Voloshky Ukrainian dance troupe from Jenkintown, PA, performing Ukrainian dances to everyone's delight. Branch 88 of the Philadelphia Regional Council organized koshyky – themed baskets for raffles, filled with items such as wine, beer, sunflowers, picture frames, and scratch-off lottery tickets. Members of the Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Phoenixville provided Ukrainian T-shirts, arts and crafts, and delicious home-made baked goods that were enjoyed by all. All the funds raised by Branch 88 will benefit the UNWLA’s Keep Ukraine Warm campaign. A concert at the Ukrainian Educational and Cultural Center (UECC) in Jenkintown, PA, on Oc - tober 16 celebrated the bravery of Ukraine’s defenders, past and present, by commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Ukrain - ian Insurgent Army (UPA). The concert was organized by the Friends of UPA and the Ukraini - an Library of UECC. Members of Branch 88 prepared an array of delicious canapés for sale at the event, with proceeds designated for Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine.
