As we watch the attack against Ukraine unfold, the brave citizens defend their country and strive with defiance for survival...
In the spirit of solidarity, GRIT presents an Evening of Stories, where award-winning personal narrative storytellers from across the U.S. tell their own true stories (in person and via video) of HOPE and RESILIENCE, seeing the light in the dark.
All proceeds will be given to Razom for Ukraine, a (gold level) non profit collecting and sending medical supplies as well as assisting with evacuations for Ukrainian refugees. Thank you for your support—Slava Ukraini!!
