How does it work?
Therefore, in April, the investment group BGV Group Management, led by Gennadii Butkevych, organized a charity event in collaboration with the BGV Charity Fund, Sviatoslav Vakarchuk's Foundation "People of the Future", and with the backing of the N-club business club, to collect donations for supplying essential equipment to the Ukrainian military.
The fundraising event was a chamber acoustic concert featuring Sviatoslav Vakarchuk, where he played his own compositions and popular hits from his band, "Okean Elzy".
The charity auction was a highlight of the evening, as participants generously purchased items donated by both the military and well-known Ukrainian athletes in support of the collection's goal.
Therefore, due to the ticket and lot sales, nearly 6 million hryvnias were raised.
The organizers contributed an additional 500 thousand hryvnias to the total amount.
As a result, the BGV Charity Fund procured and donated equipment worth 3 million hryvnias to the military.
For military unit A 2298, 230 sets of protective ammunition for fighters were purchased for 1 million 200 thousand hryvnias.
