YONKERS, N.Y. – The Yonkers branch of the Ukrainian American Youth Association (UAYA) this year created a fund-raiser called Ski for Ukraine – an effort that was primarily organized by the oldest youth members, ages 13-18.
Skiers and sponsors, along with the generous support of the SUMA Federal Credit Union of Yonkers, N.Y., were able to raise a total of $2,500. UAYA Yonkers donated the money to a non-profit organization, Revived Soldiers Ukraine (RSU) www.rsukraine.org, which is dedicated to providing programs to Ukrainian soldiers focused on medical rehabilitation.
