La Goulue partners Ed Carter, Kevin Richards and Janna Bullock staged an unforgettable fundraiser in support of the Ukraine Resistance Organisation, an on-the-ground network based in Kyiv. Featured speakers were Richards, who recently returned from Kyiv, as well as Aleksey Brynzak and Ireesha Blohina, who created the URO the day of the invasion. Brynzak and Blohina shared touching, heartbreaking stories via satellite of what life is like during a war. More than $20,000 was donated to the cause. ‘This is our country, our city, our family,’ Blohina said. ‘Like so many of you, I am a mother of two beautiful children.’ ABOVE: (l-r) Brett Orlove, Dina Fink and Ron Burkhardt.
