Benefit Concert for Ukraine 

Local community music group "Smitty and Julija" curated a live music program for peace with local musicians who donated their efforts for this event. Julija Zonic happens to also be an Eastern European war refugee from the Balkan War in the 90's.
This program included:
- Special appearance and statements from Ukrainian war refugees recently arrived in Ojai
- Ukrainian and Eastern European classical and folk songs from Ukrainian artists
- Professional concert violinist Kathleen Robertson
- Smitty and Julija and Ojai Retreat board member David Post
The music was outdoors at the Pink Moment Event Center.
All donations that go to the non-profit Ojai Retreat Cultural Center (501,c,3) and are tax-deductible. The Ojai Retreat Cultural Center has sent all donations (with no deductions) to the non-profit organization TeamHumanity (www.TeamHumanity.info) located in Chicago. Team Humanity works in cooperation with the World Central Kitchen (WCK). Your donation will go directly to support families at the Ukrainian border who are in desperate need of shelter, food, and humanitarian aid.
We are grateful to all who joined us that Sunday, and will continue to make a difference together!
