OUR MISSION
Every bowl of borscht funds something real — here’s exactly what, year by year.
Why we do this
TOGETHER, WE DELIVER HOPE
Every bowl served, every ticket purchased, every sponsor, and every donation helps make a real difference. Through our partnership with HTX4Ukraine, the Borscht Cook-off supports humanitarian initiatives, medical aid, and life-saving equipment for the people of Ukraine.
Together, we’re preserving Ukrainian culture while creating meaningful impact where it’s needed most — and we track every dollar, so you always know exactly where it goes.

$2,000 raised so far
$40,000 goal
That’s our goal this year — and every bowl, ticket, and donation gets us closer. Two years of tourniquets, drones, and stretchers proved what this community can do together. Let’s go further in 2026.
100% of proceeds support HTX4Ukraine’s mission in Ukraine.
