On February 24, 2023, 385,000 euros were donated as part of the charity concert Tribute to Ukraine. 170 musicians performed at the concert and its main purpose was to collect donations to help Ukraine in the war against Russia. Both the musicians and the creative team of organizers organized the concert voluntarily and all donations will go to the Ukrainian army.
"We will not have a second chance to stop the war in Ukraine, we will not have a second life, we will not have a second chance to write this page of history. Thanks to everyone who has supported so far and continues to support. We continue to donate!" said Kristofs Blaus, co-founder of the Entrepreneurs for Peace Foundation and founder of Nutrameg.
