OUR MISSION
Save a child.
Save a family.
Save Ukraine.
Save Ukraine is a registered charitable organization established in 2014, helping those affected by war, with a special emphasis on children.
United Fest is proud to support Save Ukraine, a humanitarian organization working tirelessly to rescue children and families affected by the war in Ukraine.
Save Ukraine is internationally recognized for its courageous efforts to bring abducted Ukrainian children home, evacuate families from frontline and occupied communities, and provide shelter, trauma recovery, and long-term support through its Hope and Healing Centres.
This year, every Charity Ticket purchased helps support these life-changing rescue and recovery efforts, giving hope to children and families who have endured unimaginable hardship.
Together, we celebrate culture, strengthen community, and stand with those who need us most.
CHARITY TICKETS AND A PRIZE DRAW
United Fest is all about keeping the celebration open, welcoming, and accessible.
Festival entry remains free, because we believe everyone should have the chance to experience the music, culture, and community we’re building together.
This year, we’re proudly fundraising in support of
Save Ukraine, helping rescue Ukrainian children from occupation and bring them safely home.
If you’re able, we invite you to make a donation of any amount. Every contribution goes directly toward life-changing rescue and recovery efforts.
And because giving back should feel good— every donation automatically enters you into our festival prize draw for a chance to win exciting experiences and surprises.
Thank you for being part of something bigger. Together, we’re turning celebration into real impact.

OUR IMPACT
United Fest was founded with a mission of helping Ukrainian children in need. For the past three years, with the incredible support of our community, we have chosen a cause and raised funds to make a difference.
In 2025, we expanded our mission to also support a local charity in the Bow Valley. And this year was no exception. Together, we continue to celebrate, give back, and make a difference both locally and abroad.

In 2024, United Fest was proud to raise $4,000 for House of Butterflies Hospice, helping support the well-being and care of children facing serious illnesses.
In 2025, we were able to more than double our impact, raising a total of $10,000. Of that amount, $9,000 was donated to House of Butterflies Hospice to continue supporting its important work.
We also wanted to give back to our local community. In 2025, we donated the additional $1,000 to the Bow Valley SPCA, supporting animals in need and the important work of our local animal shelter.
