Dancing for a cause

About Helping Ukraine
Helping Ukraine is an Atlanta-rooted initiative that delivers surgical and medical supplies, food, and other essentials to people in Ukraine. Founded by longtime Rotarian and Atlanta businessman Emory Morsberger, the effort grew from local Rotary clubs into a sustained humanitarian mission — including hands-on delivery of critical equipment to hospitals in crisis.
Donations flow through a registered 501(c)(3) fund administered by the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia and are tax-deductible. The organization has sent millions in supplies — including generators that power regional hospitals and neighborhood well systems.
When you buy tickets, register a team, shop merch, sponsor the event, or donate through Just Koothu, you are supporting that same mission — turning a night of performance and community into real relief on the ground.
