Ukrainian Catholic University Foundation invites you to Perelaz Folkball, an event in support of Ukrainian Catholic University.

Perelaz is a symbolic gesture of friendship and tradition. In Ukrainian, Perelaz means to “climb-over” and in villages throughout Ukraine, neighbors are often invited to cross over the fence to visit with friends. In this spirit, UCU invites you, our neighbors, and friends, to cross over our fence and join our UCU community for a traditional and festive evening celebrating our University.

Your ticket includes:

• Premium open bar

• Delicious Ukrainian cuisine catered by Shokolad

Guests may also participate in a charity auction of Ukrainian artwork and raffle.
