The following release was issued by the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America on May 18.
NEW YORK – The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA), never wavering in its commitment to represent the interests of the Ukrainian American community and support the independence of Ukraine, will be marking the 80th anniversary of its founding this month.
Although the original plans to celebrate this milestone had to be canceled due to these unprecedented times of Covid-19, the UCCA is rising to the challenge, as it has done throughout its decades-long history, and adjusting its strategy to celebrate this historic anniversary virtually.
