Fundraising is at the core of STEPPE. We've raised funds through virtual and in-person Ukrainian folk dance lessons, along with personally dedicating our time to organizing large community fundraisers, and from sales of merchandise.
To date, STEPPE has directly raised over $29,000+ to provide humanitarian aid and territorial defense to Ukraine, along with supporting local Santa Cruz refugees through partnerships and independent efforts.
$29,000+ DIRECTLY RAISED AND COUNTING
STEPPE strives to make it easier to help provide direct support to Ukraine and Ukrainians displaced by war through reliable non-profits resources, upcoming events, along with items to purchase.
"From the first moments of watching STEPPE perform, we felt welcomed into the experience. As the dance continued, we felt more and more connected to the culture. As we watched, we fell in love with (the culture and tradition that is) Ukraine."
