BCU Foundation held a fundraising event “Resilient Hearts – An Evening Where Compassion Meets Action” on Saturday, February 21, 2026.
Since its establishment in 2006, BCU Foundation has distributed about $24 million in support of countless projects to a multitude of organizations across Canada, including over $8 million for humanitarian and medical initiatives in Ukraine and efforts to combat Russian disinformation about Ukraine and its people. Today, the Foundation holds $52 million in assets and supports 59 designated funds dedicated to cultural and educational initiatives.
The evening featured two distinguished guest speakers from Ukraine — YouTube documentary journalist Caolan Robertson and internationally celebrated Ukrainian chef Yevhen Klopotenko, who led the successful campaign to have Ukrainian borscht recognized as Ukrainian borscht UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage listing. Their powerful presentations highlighted both the human stories behind the war and the importance of preserving Ukrainian culture and identity.
The successful event was attended by 420 donors and raised over $150,000, including a Platinum sponsorship of $50,000 from BCU Financial. We thank BCU Financial for making this event a success and for their continued leadership in supporting humanitarian relief, cultural preservation, and community resilience.
Throughout August and September, all BCU branches — Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Ottawa, and Oakville — hosted Member Appreciation Days!
We were thrilled to welcome our members with free Ukrainian lunches and small thank-you gifts as a gesture of appreciation for your continued trust and support.
It was a true pleasure to connect, share smiles, and celebrate the amazing community that makes BCU so special.
