Together in Solidarity! 🇱🇹🇺🇦
What a beautiful and unforgettable day!
The Lithuanian community in DFW came together with Ukrainians for the 5K Run to show support, solidarity, and unity. It was truly touching to see people from different nations standing together and supporting one another.
It was more than just a run—it was a day filled with joy, hope, friendship, and strength. Seeing so many people come together reminded us that we are stronger when we stand united.
The support we felt was incredible and deeply meaningful.

Thank you to the Lithuanian community with Erika Usmile and everyone who joined us, supported us, and stood together in solidarity. Together, we can make a difference!
🇱🇹🤝🇺🇦 United in support. United in hope. United in strength.

The spirit of Odesa came alive in North Texas on September 13 as the U.S.–Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce hosted a special Odesa City Day celebration — bringing together Ukrainians, Americans, and people of many different nationalities to celebrate the city’s culture, traditions, music, and resilience.
The celebration was also an opportunity to stand with the people of Odesa and Ukraine during an extremely difficult period.
Odesa and the surrounding region have continued to face Russian missile and drone attacks. Rather than allowing the ongoing violence to silence the city’s spirit, participants gathered to celebrate what makes Odesa unique — its people, humor, music, hospitality, and ability to bring people together.
“We refuse to let darkness take away our light. We choose unity, hope and life” -native Odesa lady said.
The evening featured performances by Inna Psiarnetskaia , pianist Natalie Aleksandrova , guitar player Ihor Kudelin, violinist Marek Leszczynski, and dancers Natali Hrodska and Daria. DJ Leo Velsher kept the celebration going throughout the evening.
The event was hosted by Selda Mediterranean Kitchen - Frisco , whose hospitality helped create a welcoming setting for the celebration.
The Chamber also gives appreciation to the photographers George Pecoraro and Mark Mezhenskyi, videographer Yevgenii Gorbunov of PhotoCinemaPro and volunteers!
Special recognition was given to the event’s sponsors, whose continued support helps sustain community initiatives and humanitarian efforts:

• Lena Pearlman-Katsen - Mortgage Consultant , Mortgage Consultant at First United Bank
• Anasko Skin Studio — Oksana Fish
• Project Anti-aging
• Fine & Fit Chocolate
• Belsta Sleepers

Support, along with the participation of guests from different backgrounds, reflected a central message of the evening: Odesa is more than a place on the map. It is a community, a culture, and a spirit carried by people around the world.

The celebration demonstrated how cultural events can bring communities together, preserve heritage, and provide support and solidarity during difficult times.

Odesa is alive! Ukraine is alive! And the Odesa spirit continues to shine — even from thousands of miles away!

Slava Ukraini!

I Run for Ukrainian Heroes — A Powerful Day of Unity and Support!
Today was a very important and meaningful day as our community came together for I Run for Ukrainian Heroes.
We ran not only for fitness, but for a purpose — to honor the brave Ukrainian heroes who are fighting for freedom, democracy, and peace. Every step was a message to Ukraine: You are not alone. We remember you, we support you, and we stand with you.
It was especially meaningful to see the support of the American people. 🇺🇸🤝🇺🇦 Your kindness, friendship, and continued support give strength and hope to the people of Ukraine.
Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, donated, and stood with us. Together, we are stronger!
As long as we stand together, Ukraine will never stand alone.

🇺🇦
