"Stride and Ride" event raises over $30,000 for The Ukrainian Museum

RINGWOOD, N.J. - The Stride and Ride to Build - a walk-a-thon, bike-a-thon and family picnic - raised over $30,000 for The Ukrainian Museum Building Fund.

Held on September 24 at Ringwood State Park in New Jersey, the event drew more than 100 participants of all ages.

It was organized by a group of young women - Anya Hanas Hnateyko, Roma Slobodian Odulak, Darka Leschuk Pencak, Mimi Raihl Polansky, Darka Bakalec Temnycky, Olenka Czerwoniak Terleckyj, Tamara Tershakovec, Anya Tershakovec Tomko and Zezya Tershakovec Zawadiwsky - who combined their love of sports and the outdoors with their appreciation of Ukrainian culture.

Their efforts on behalf of the museum yielded not only superb financial gain for the building project, but also raised public awareness of the institution as a viable and essential element of the Ukrainian American community.

The Ukrainian Museum expressed its gratitude to the organizers of the Stride and Ride to Build event for a job extremely well done. A thank-you was also extended to all who participated in and supported this memorable fund-raiser.
