Impressions from the
1st edition
Ukraine Benefit Milonga
Thanks to all your efforts, the result of the first three Ukraine Benefit Milongas in 2023 and 2024 was overwhelming: €34.535. Over 350 dancers attained. Many others contributed too. But the most important is the moral support to Ukrainian people, showing that they are not alone in their fight for freedom in Europe.
This 4rd edition, the hosts will again cover all organisational costs. All your donations will go equally to three initiatives of Ukrainian volunteers who we personally know and trust:
- Mik & Julia (life saving tools & medications).
- Natalia Shylova (supporting several volunteer initiatives).
- Valentina Belyaeva (Bella Eva) & Ivanov Oleksii are donating profit from their events to the urgent needs of tango friends who are now at the frontline.
There is no entrance fee to the event. Pay what your heart suggests.
We welcome you with a free Ukrainian welcome 4drink.
