Haverford Township and the Kelly Center for Music, Arts and Community in Havertown have organized “United With Ukraine,” a peaceful demonstration with music and words to show community support for the people of Ukraine.

United With Ukraine takes place Thursday, March 10, 5 to 6:30 p.m., rain or shine, at the Paddock Park Pavilion, 214 W. Hillcrest Ave. in Havertown.

The event will feature live music as well as words from speakers and dignitaries. The event will also be streamed live on Facebook and YouTube.

Music performers include Scott McClatchy, John Flynn, Katie Barbato with Brett Kull, David Matthew Brown, Katherine Daly and others.  Scheduled speakers include local officials, Ukrainian dignitaries and others.

“We hope this gathering and show of support may help in some small way,” said Tom Kelly, executive director of the Kelly Center. I am grateful to the leadership and Commissioners of Haverford Township for helping us organize this demonstration.” 

The event is FREE to attend.  Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and signs with messages of Peace. Donations will be accepted and forwarded to the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee in Philadelphia.  Donations of food, clothing, medical supplies, and financial contributions can be made by clicking here.

Haverford Township leadership is also adopting a Resolution in support of Ukraine.

“One of the things I love about Haverford Township is the generosity and kindness of our community, which rallies behind people in their time of need,” said Haverford Commissioner Judy Trombetta, who is helping to organize the event, says. “On Thursday, we will continue this tradition when we come together to support our Ukrainian neighbors and friends, and everyone impacted by these senseless acts of violence.”
