We hosted our second annual event in Singapore on May 18th, 2023 where we raised over $60K—that equates to more than 7000 meals served in Ukraine, Turkey and Syria and the delivery of much-needed medical supplies to the frontlines of Ukraine!
More than 300 people came together at the live event and many more online through The Brand Action Color Challenge, our social media leg of the initiative. We selected two amazing charities for our 2023 donations: World Central Kitchen (WCK) and Leleka Foundation. Both with missions aligned with our own, helping people in times of crisis. WCK cooks and serves food where people have been impacted by natural disasters or humanitarian crises, including current efforts in Turkey, Syria and Ukraine. Leleka delivers much-needed medical supplies in Ukraine.
We Stand Together as a Community
Watch the video below to see the inspiring story of Oleksandra Syniakovska, a Ukrainian IP practitioners in our community who was displaced by the war in Ukraine. Oleksandra was present at our 2022 and 2023 events, and donated three beautiful watercolors for a silent auction.
Special thanks to Lisa Weiss from Storybeat Studio and Zach Moore of October for their wonderful work on this video.

Our Charities
World Central Kitchen
We are thrilled to support World Central Kitchen’s (WCK) efforts for a second year in a row. WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.
In the past year, WCK has been on the ground delivering much needed food in places as diverse as Turkey, Syria, Pakistan, Ukraine, Chile and California, USA. To learn more about their efforts, please visit World Central Kitchen | Relief (wck.org)
Leleka Foundation
Leleka Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in December 2014 by several Ukrainians living in the United States joining with several volunteer initiatives in Ukraine to procure and distribute medical and first-aid supplies to paramedics, emergency crews, and hospitals in the wake of the 2014 Russian aggression in the Eastern Ukraine and Crimea
With the full-blown war lodged by Russia against Ukraine in 2022, Leleka is currently focusing its efforts on the urgent delivery of medical supplies to the front lines.
The Ukrainian word "Leleka" translates to "stork" in English. In Ukrainian culture, a stork symbolizes peace, happiness, home and family.
Watch to see how Leleka is helping Ukrainians on the front lines by providing high quality medical supplies.
