Project Soniashnyk

Project Soniashnyk is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to helping children in Ukraine deal with the incredible stress of war. They organize and host Summer & Winter rehabilitation camps in Ukraine for children whose parents are active or fallen members of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. In addition to typical camp activities, the camps provide essential trauma therapy and mental health support for children impacted by the war.  Therapy and support continues throughout the year via group and individual counselling.

The camps are offered to families at no cost and are made possible by the support of BCU Foundation and individual donations.

100% of the net profit of the 2025 Haunted Hustle, and all individual donations will be provided to Project Soniashnyk to help fund their 2026 programs.   Please help us meet our goal of raising $30,000 to support kids in need. 

PLUS, the first $5,000 in donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a private sponsor. Your donation can help us turn $5,000 into $10,000 for an important cause!

Tax receipts issued for all donations of $20 or more.

Soniashnyk is the Ukrainian word for sunflower, a flower inextricably linked with Ukraine. It is a symbol of resistance, hope, joy & growth and nutrition.
