Vancouver, BC — Celebrate Ukrainian heroes and support programs that help defenders and their families at the Invictus Team Ukraine Charity Gala Night, a festive evening of food, cultural programming, and reverence on the eve of the 2025 Invictus Games.
The Invictus Games – which was founded by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex in 2014 – is an international adaptive sports tournament for wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans. The 2025 edition of the Invictus Games takes place in Vancouver and Whistler from February 8-16, and will feature an incredible 50-member team from Ukraine.
Presented by the Ukrainian Canadian Advocacy Group in association with the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the Seaforth Armory, the Invictus Team Ukraine Charity Gala Night on February 7 is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to welcome these brave heroes to Vancouver while also fundraising for programs that support their healing and the healing of their children.
In a beautifully appointed Seaforth Armoury, attendees – which will include ticket buyers, dignitaries, community leaders, and the 50 members of Team Ukraine – will enjoy a full dinner as well as an astounding program of performances by world-class Ukrainian performers, including concert pianist Anna Sagalova, KOLO Singing Group, Barvinok Choir, Zeellia, contemporary bandura musicians Georgiy Matviyiv and Mariia Smolinksa, and Taras Luka Jazz, as well as a fashion show featuring the designs of famed vyshyvanka designer Tanya Znak.
Attendees will also be able to bid on a staggering array of collectibles (including from the defenders themselves) and experiences in an auction that supports two worthy causes: the Rehabilitation Program for the Children of Fallen Heroes, and Adaptive Sport Initiatives in Ukraine.
All ticket sales support these two initiatives. There are two types of tickets available for purchase: a Standard Gala Night Ticket ($200 plus fees) that will gain you entry to the 6:00 PM main event, which includes the dinner and the cultural program; and a Gala Night + Cocktail Reception Ticket ($500 plus fees) which will gain you entry into an exclusive cocktail reception that begins at 5:00 PM in a special room reserved for VIPs, and includes premium seating at the main event.
Invictus Team Ukraine Charity Gala Night takes place at 6:00 PM on Friday, February 7, 2025 at the Seaforth Armoury (1650 Burrard Street, Vancouver). Tickets are $200-$500 and are available through Eventbrite here.
