Happy 15th Anniversary, Avrora!

The Avrora multimarket chain is celebrating 15 years of operations in Ukraine — during which the company has supported the country at crucial moments. Avrora has become a long-standing partner of the UNITED24 platform.

Over the years, Avrora has joined a number of important initiatives. Thanks to the company’s contributions, the dream of Sasha from Novohryhorivka — the hero of the Crushed music video by Imagine Dragons — came true. His home was destroyed by the russian army, but a new house was built for his family.

Avrora has also made a significant contribution to strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities. The company transferred ₴24,000,000 toward robotic platforms for defenders. Another ₴5,000,000 was donated as part of the ATLAS festival fundraiser, with the funds going towards drones and robotic platforms for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

UNITED24, together with Avrora and Art Nation Loyalty, implemented the Way to Victory project. As part of the initiative, comics were sold, and all proceeds were directed via the platform to purchase RQ-35 Heidrun drones.

The company has also supported the Operation Unity drone fundraiser twice. To help amplify the initiative and attract more donors, Avrora provided an apartment and a car to be raffled off among contributors, helping to significantly increase participation and support for Ukraine’s defenders.

Among other initiatives was support for the fundraiser for 35 Sea Baby naval drones. As part of the campaign, donors were entered into a raffle for 35 cards worth ₴100,000 and one card worth ₴1,000,000, which helped attract even more participants.

The company also supports the Education and Science program. The company donated ₴8,000,000 toward the reconstruction of Ukrainian schools: ₴4,000,000 was raised during the Cossacks and Avrora charity campaign, and the company doubled the amount with an additional ₴4,000,000. Together with KIDDISVIT, Avrora also helped raise funds to equip shelters in schools through the sale of TechnoDrive military equipment models. Also Avrora contributed to The Star is Rising exhibition, during which funds were raised to equip bomb shelters in Ukrainian schools.

In addition to supporting fundraisers, the company is also an operational donor to UNITED24. Every cent of donations collected from around the world goes directly to the accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine. The platform does not retain a single penny for its own expenses so that 100% of charitable contributions work for Ukraine’s victory. This is why the support of operational donors makes it possible to develop the platform and scale up assistance.

We thank Avrora for their trust, partnership, and contribution to our common cause.
