The President of the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), the representative organization of over 1.5 million Americans of Ukrainian descent, traveled to Colorado on April 17-20 to meet with representatives of the Ukrainian American community.
During his visit, Mr. Futey met with the leadership and members of Ukrainians of Colorado, was interviewed on local Colorado Radio, and was the headline speaker at a special evening fundraiser. Over and again, the benefits of UCCA’s coordinated efforts in terms of humanitarian aid being shipped to Ukraine was discussed, while UCCA’s president made sure to thank the Colorado Ukrainian American community for their ongoing efforts in aiding Ukraine.
During his meetings, Mr. Futey emphasized the importance of unity within the Ukrainian American community, outlined the work of the UCCA, and encouraged local organizations to join with UCCA, which unites fraternal, educational, veterans, religious, cultural and humanitarian Ukrainian American organizations under one national umbrella organization.
