Leipzig for Ukraine! A benefit concert.

A benefit concert for the victims of the war in Ukraine 

Like many, if not all of the people of Leipzig, we are shocked and dismayed by the war of aggression in the Ukraine and against our twin city Kyiv. In times of such crises, we are convinced that we have all to do our part. That's why we decided to organize an event to collect money for the refugees and victims of the war in Ukraine. 

We are an international group of people from Leipzig from the fields of culture, gastronomy and education. We are determined to prove that the City of Leipzig can and will do its part to help and support our friends in Ukraine in their need as much as we can. We stand together to help. We offer our time, experience and resources. We believe that by organizing a fundraiser we can send a clear signal of support and gather significant help for Ukrainians in need.

What we plan :

We want to organize a benefit concert with several bands and musicians to raise funds. These should help to provide the people who had to flee Ukraine with the most necessary things and to bring them to safe areas. Therefore we are turning to our extensive network of contacts to organize bands to play at this event, to arrange the logistics and framework to organize this concert in the best way possible. We also turn to Ukrainian institutions in the city that could possibly get involved. Income for this event should also be organized via a crowdfunding platform, 

Should this event be successful, there is also the option of further such events.
