Fundraiser information

Dear friends,

Arts for Hearts studio welcomes you to our Summer Recital! The program includes performances by students of local music teachers as well as independent artists and art exhibition. Our mission at Arts for Hearts has always been promoting arts and culture through education, public and private performances, fundraisers, and other art-related activities.

With the current tragic events in Ukraine, we encourage you to support victims of this conflict directly and via Ukrainian relieve funds and organizations of your choice. Some of them are represented at the event by posters and donation boxes. Some organizations are able to accept electronic transfers via credit cards, Pay Pal, Venmo etc. Others, especially smaller ones, will only be able to accept cash.

We have a station where volunteers can guide you through the process of making donations. All funds will be going directly to organizations of your choice – please do NOT write checks to Arts for Heats. We ask that you put a note in a memo "July 16 Student Recital" for your electronic payments, and report your donation amount to our volunteers - this will help us determine the total amount raised at our specific event. We will report the total amount donated after the event so that we all can feel involved!

Please read the details about each fund/organization below and consider making your donation!

Thank you for your support!



Paul Marczynski Helping Ukrainian Refugees Nearly 6 million refugees crossed the border, most of them women and children. Out of those, more than 1.5 million of them have been accepted into Poland, where I'm sure you're aware I have many ties. Seeing this tragedy, I knew my family and I needed to help. We, in conjunction with some family friends, are doing everything we can to ensure the safety of these families. Here are just a few ways we are taking action:
We have rented two homes near Warsaw (the capital of Poland) to house the women and children who have been forced to flee their country. We are ensuring the children are able to continue their schooling so that they retain an ounce of normalcy while their lives are turned upside down.
We are providing basic necessities such as food, clothes, beds, and more. In addition, we are offering support to help people restart their lives while this tragedy continues, assisting them in finding jobs and a community.
In Warsaw I'm working with the Open Dialogue Foundation and specifically with Agata Dziopa who personally established Homes For Mothers. I continue to support those efforts.
I also support another group in the city of Lodz, which houses over 30 people and provides professional psychological support for the Ukrainian children to treat the PTSD.
