After raising over $17,000 in a soccer equipment sale for Ukrainian efforts, Peterborough’s Victor Waselenko is continuing his aid asking the community’s help for $100,000.
The initial soccer equipment fundraiser — selling soccer apparel, footwear and equipment at half price — was held last Saturday at Hybrid Sports. The $10,000 goal was easily surpassed as the event raised $17,421.50 that has been placed into the fundraiser account.
“It was a great day and the people of Peterborough were extremely supportive,” said Waselenko.
The first-generation Ukranian said he wanted to create a medium for the public to help Ukraine.
“I know that people want to help and contribute but they sometimes do not know where or how to do that,” said Waselenko.
