REACTION TO THE TERRORIST ATTACKS ON THE U.S.

UCCA supports relief efforts

NEW YORK - In the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) has sent letters of support and gratitude to President George W. Bush, New York Gov. George Pataki, and New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliani commending them for their strong leadership in the wake of the tragedies.

The UCCA also expressed thanks to the members of the Ukrainian American community who are actively engaged in volunteer and support efforts to alleviate the suffering caused by the massive terrorist attacks, and encouraged the Ukrainian American community at large to join these efforts and assist the victims' families.

The UCCA has established the UCCA-WTC Relief Fund as a means for the Ukrainian American community to coordinate its contributions to the ongoing relief effort. The UCCA is underwriting all administrative costs of the fund and all money donated will go directly to members of the Ukrainian American community who have been directly affected by this tragedy and to the American Red Cross, which is providing care to the victims of the attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.

To contribute, please make checks payable to UCCA-WTC Relief Fund and send them to: Ukrainian Congress Committee of America, 203 Second Ave, New York, NY 10003. All contributions made to the UCCA are tax-deductible; the UCCA is a 501(c)(3) organization.

In addition, the UCCA announced that any member of the Ukrainian American community requiring assistance may contact the UCCA National Office at (212) 228-6840 or e-mail [email protected].
