2023 CFEBA Gala: Powering Positive Change and Generating Hope
Each year at the end of the first day of the EBA Conference and Annual Meeting, the CFEBA holds its annual fundraising gala. This elegant event directly supports the foundation's grant giving activities. The support of EBA members and their organizations is critical to ensuring that CFEBA can continue to Power Positive Change this year and in the future.
The 2023 Gala was held on the evening of Thursday May 11, and honored Nova Ukraine, the 2023 Cornerstone Grant recipient. Nova Ukraine was granted $50,000 toward the purchase of generators that support essential services in hospitals and warming centers throughout Ukraine.
The event began with a cocktail reception, followed by a seated dinner with presentations by representatives from CFEBA and Nova Ukraine. We also were lucky to have entertainment provided by Spiv Zhyttya, a DC-based Ukrainian singing group!
Guest Speakers from Nova Ukraine:
- Kateryna Kovalenko, Global General Manager
- Natalya Meyer, Grant Management and Compliance Lead
Entertainment:
- A vocal performance from DC Ukrainian singing group Spiv Zhyttya
