Twelve young artists from across the US designed this year’s Christmas Cards for the Ukrainian National Association (UNA). The Parsipanny-based UNA, which is overseen by the NJ Department of Banking, offers a competitive range of high-quality insurance products, IRAs, annuities and educational savings accounts. In addition to managing these accounts, the UNA supports Ukrainian social, cultural and charitable programs through the Ukrainian National Foundation (UNF). With 9,000 members, packets of 12 cards and envelopes were mailed before Thanksgiving. Members are asked to send a $25 gift to the UNF. Proceeds from the card sales support the renaissance of Soyuzivka, the cultural center in Kerhonkson, NY. Proceeds from past year’s card sales helped underwrite cultural shows at Soyuzivka and other events. Members have also provided donations to the UNA publications Svoboda and The Ukrainian Weekly, and to the UNF general fund.
