USUF collects $8,000 for miners

WASHINGTON - The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation has reported that in less than one month, nearly 100 donors have contributed $8,000 to the Krasnodon Mine Disaster Fund.

U.S.-Ukraine Foundation Financial Administrator John A. Kun said, "The Ukrainian American generosity has been wonderful, and the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation is extremely grateful for this support. I thank those for contributing thus far and I welcome additional gifts to the Krasnodon Mine Disaster Fund."

The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to building peace and prosperity through shared democratic values for both nations, has a special relationship with Krasnodon since a community partnership was established between Krasnodon and Birmingham, Alabama, in 1998 through the foundation's Community Partnerships Project, a program of training and technical assistance funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development.

Donations are still being accepted. Please make checks out to the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation/mine disaster (gifts are fully tax-deducible as provided by law) and send them to: The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation, 933 15th St. NW, Suite 1026, Washington, DC 20006.
