During their performances, the artists held auctions for various items, from autographed T-shirts to a walk with their favourite comedian or an apartment.
According to the organisers, 63673 spectators attended the event over three days, including 2538 people with disabilities, for whom a special VIP zone was built The main fee of UAH 100 million was replenished from direct donations, ticket sales, auction proceeds and donations from business representatives.
The Aurora team developed merchandise specifically for the festival: T-shirts, sneakers, socks, notebooks and stickers. All proceeds from the sale of the collection went to the
the collection’s piggy bank. As well as a direct partner donation of UAH 5 million, and the profits of a convenience store that operated near the Aurora Multimarket Stage.
Lev Zhidenko, co-founder of Aurora Multimarket:
“We are very pleased to join this festival and the collection, because the festival is a great opportunity for young Ukrainian artists to showcase themselves. As a business, we consider it one of our missions to help revive Ukrainian culture. The collection is another value for us, we are regular partners of UNITED 24 and we believe that every such activity brings us closer to Victory and helps to save the lives of our defenders.”
The funds raised by the festival will be divided into two parts. One will be used to purchase drones for brigades in the Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia sectors. The other part will be used to fundraise for the UNITED24 platform for robots fighting alongside and instead of our defenders: automated platforms for evacuation, cargo delivery, mine clearance and other military needs.
