To mark four years since the start of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we’re gathering in solidarity to bring light and warmth to those on the front lines.
Join us for Warmth in the Cold: An Evening for Ukraine — a community event hosted at Saxtons River Distillery, featuring remarks by Ambassador Gediminas Varvuolis of Lithuania, followed by a Solidarity Cocktail Hour, Bonfire & Fundraiser.
Together, we’re raising $10,000 to send 200 Winter Care Packages to Ukrainian soldiers through Blue/Yellow USA — each filled with warmth, nourishment, and messages of hope.

Event Schedule:
• 5:00–6:00 PM — Reflections at the Four-Year Mark: Remarks by Ambassador Gediminas Varvuolis, Co-Hosted by Windham World Affairs Council
• 6:00–7:30 PM — Solidarity Cocktail Hour, Bonfire & Fundraiser
No tickets required — join in solidarity, buy a cocktail, and make a donation of any amount.
