Shield of Freedom Beer and Bandages Event

Kilowatt Brewery

San Diego CA 92111
Hello friends of Ukraine and freedom!
The 501c3 non-profit Shield of Freedom (SOF) and Kearny Mesa Kilowatt Brewery are teaming up to host an amazing event where you will personally have the opportunity to save lives by building a life-saving IFAK (First Aid Kit) for a Ukrainian defender or first responder and then enjoy amazing beer with friends, including Kilowatt's Gold Medal winning Ukrainian brew.
Ukrainian veterans and volunteers will help you build your own IFAK with all the proper components (tourniquet, hemostatic gauze, chest seal, etc.). You can then include a personalized note to a Ukrainian defender that will be included in the IFAK and then be sent with volunteers to Ukraine within the next few weeks and help save lives on the front line.
After we finish building our IFAKs, we will enjoy live music by U3Zub and amazing beer with friends!
If you would like to attend this amazing free event, we are asking attendees to reserve their spot/IFAK by purchasing a ticket for a $100 donation to SOF, which will be used entirely to buy high quality, life-saving components for your IFAK. Please purchase your ticket as soon as possible as space is limited and we will need to purchase the supplies for your IFAK in advance! Also, if you or a friend would like to sponsor more than one IFAK, that is great, please just provide an additional $100 for the extra supplies.
We also have a Food and Beer ticket for $43 which will buy 1 tourniquet and chest seal.
We look forward to seeing you there!!!

Kozak Siromaha Concert
September 14 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Oceanside, CA 92058 United States
Join Us for an Unforgettable Evening with KOZAK SIROMAHA!
Mark your calendars for an extraordinary night of music and culture on September 14th! We are thrilled to present a special performance by Oleksand Lyubbozhenko from Dnipro, better known as KOZAK SIROMAHA.
KOZAK SIROMAHA is not just a musician; he is a true free Cossack, the only Ukrainian Cossack who plays the harmonium, a unique instrument rarely seen in Ukraine. Living on the banks of the Dnipro River in a traditional Cossack settlement, he embodies ancient Cossack traditions, from raising his children in the Cossack way to mastering the art of the hopak war dance, which is over a thousand years old. His performances are a mesmerizing blend of music, shamanic ritual, and Cossack saber fencing — an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
To kick off the evening, the talented local NAMYSTO Dance Group and KOLO folk singers will open the show, bringing their vibrant energy and passion to the stage.
Come together to celebrate the spirit of Ukraine, connect with the community, and immerse yourself in soulful music that transcends time. Don’t miss out on this unique concert experience!
