About event
Celebrate Ukraine’s Independence. Run for Freedom. Support Those Who Defend It.
For the fourth year in a row, Stand With Ukraine Foundation and the Wake Up community in Los Angeles are proud to host our annual Ukraine’s Freedom Run in celebration of Ukraine’s Independence Day.
This year’s event is even more special as we welcome our new partner, Handball Academy LA, making this celebration bigger than ever. We are also grateful for the generous support of our sponsors, “Zori” Gastrobar and “Meest” shipping company, whose contributions help make this event possible.
Every step we take is dedicated to supporting Ukraine and honoring the courage of its defenders.
Supporting the “35 for 35” Campaign
Your registration is more than just a ticket to a community event - it is a direct contribution to our active “35 for 35” fundraising campaign, which aims to provide 35 Mini Starlink for Ukrainian defenders in honor of the 35th Anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence.
Reliable communication saves lives. Together, we can help ensure Ukrainian service members stay connected when it matters most.
