In the Blue of the Sky
on June 5th at Follen Church in Lexington, MA.
This concert will celebrate the legacy of Ukrainian composers and
serve as an opportunity to fundraise for humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
Today I'm thrilled to introduce Common Man for Ukraine.
The organization's four extraordinary founders,
Susan Mathison, Lisa Mure, Steve Rand and Alex Ray,
will be in attendance on June 5th
to speak about the work and their frequent travels in Ukraine.
Common Man for Ukraine
is an initiative of the
New Hampshire-based nonprofit organization Plymouth Rotary Foundation that
provides monthly trauma retreats to the children and widows of Ukrainian lost hero-soldiers and
delivers humanitarian aid regularly to
displaced children and families struggling to survive this war.
To date, the organization has delivered over 4 million pounds of food; thousands of sleeping bags, blankets and knitted items;
hundreds of generators; and other aid items to
safehouses and war-torn villages near the front and has
provided monthly mental health retreats to
over 1,600 children and widows of lost soldiers.
Common Man for Ukraine has raised over $5.5 million and counting over four years for its programs and
continues its aid missions into eastern Ukraine several times a year.

Common Man for Ukraine
founder Lisa Mure writes:
We are privileged to be
partnering with Ukrainian Music Initiative
to support Common Man for Ukraine programs. In our many humanitarian aid trips to Ukraine we have come to understand
how integral music is to the country's culture, and we are honored that
Ukrainian Music Initiative is sharing its talent and
commitment to preserving Ukraine's culture and history to
help raise funds for humanitarian aid deliveries to war-torn villages and for monthly mental health retreats for the
children and widows of Ukraine's lost soldiers.
