Concert with Sam Miltich & The Clearwater Hot Club

Ukraine Fundraiser

Children are the least responsible for the war in Ukraine, but they suffer the most from its consequences. Your ticket purchase and/or donation will help ensure that Ukraine's children have access to safe water, nutrition, health care, education and protection. 100% of the net proceeds of this event will be channeled through UNICEF to help the children of Ukraine, and less than 3% of funds will go toward administrative costs.

Sam Miltich and his band, The Clearwater Hot Club, have generously offered their time and musical talents at no charge which will allow the Reif to provide even more support to UNICEF for their “Protect the Children of Ukraine” initiative. Sam stated that he "will put some Ukrainian songs in our repertoire as well as some originals, some other Eastern European songs, and good old happy hot club swing music." The night will feature select food/beverage options available for purchase, a silent auction starting at 5:00pm, pre-show lobby music, and starting at 7pm we will feature some amazing music in our Wilcox Theater that is both inspiring and reflective as we honor those most afflicted by this senseless war on Ukraine.

How can I help?

• Buy a ticket.  Advanced tickets available from this page. Alternatively, you can pay at the door, but please arrive early to avoid long lines. All seats and ages, just $10.00.

• Silent auction. Bid on a variety of items in our lobby before the 7pm show and at intermission (winning bidders can bring items home directly after the show). 100% of proceeds will go directly to the fundraiser. Have an item to donate for the auction? Contact the Reif or drop off items between 8:30am and 5:00pm, M-F, now through April 15.

• Donate. Whether you can or cannot attend the event, you can still give directly to this cause. Donations (checks to Reif Center, memo ‘Ukraine’) can be dropped off at the McMahon Box Office at The Reif (M-F between 8:30am-5:00pm), mailed to The Reif (720 NW Conifer Drive, Grand Rapids), or given online at reifcenter.org/donate (select UKRAINE FUND).
