The Skate for Ukraine project raises money to help Ukrainian children

The price of one board is $100. It can be purchased on the project website .

The purpose of this project is to raise and donate money to the Ukrainian UNICEF Foundation, which helps children and their mothers survive the war that Russia started in Ukraine on February 24, 2022. The refugee crisis in Ukraine is so massive that it is difficult to fully comprehend it. More than 9 million Ukrainians have already been forced to flee to other countries, and half of them are children. An even greater number of people have been forced to leave their homes inside the country due to the lack of basic necessities for life - all of them are in desperate need of medical and humanitarian assistance, the project website says.

100% of the proceeds from the sale of these boards will be donated to UNICEF, which will help provide Ukrainians with safe water, sanitation,
medical help.
