Under the motto “From Action to Hope,” the third charity Gala Dinner organized by IvAlive Foundation brought together hundreds of caring people and raised nearly ₴8.5 million to support Ukrainians in need.
Over the past three years, the IvAlive Foundation has been bringing together kind-hearted people to help those who need it most. This year, for the first time, we joined forces with two international organizations working in Ukraine — FSD and MINE-EX. Together, we created a platform that unites efforts across three vital areas:
🔹 Educational and integration programs for Ukrainian refugee children and women — by IvAlive Foundation
🔹 Demining of Ukrainian territories and training on explosive safety — by FSD
🔹 Modernization of a rehabilitation center in Vashkivtsi, Chernivtsi region — by MINE-EX
We are deeply grateful that, thanks to this event, we can now bring to life projects that give people hope for life, recovery, and a brighter future.
The gala evening exceeded all our expectations.
From the touching performance of a children’s choir to the powerful energy of our headliner — Kadebostany — every moment carried meaning and emotion. Guests enjoyed a charity auction with 11 exclusive lots hosted by one of Geneva’s most renowned auction houses, Piguet Hotel des Ventes, an inspiring contemporary dance performance by AFJD, and the magic of Isma Zmerli. Together, these moments created a unique atmosphere where guests could truly connect with our mission.
Our heartfelt thanks go to the Embassy of Ukraine in Switzerland and Ambassador Iryna Venediktova for their valuable support. Thanks to the auction lots provided by Botschaft Ukraine, we raised an impressive CHF 165,000
