ASPEN INSURANCE

Watch the video from our Group CEO and Chairman, Mark Cloutier, on Aspen's support of Ukrainian crisis relief efforts and how you can do your part to help.

The Daar Charitable Foundation's Stand With Ukraine Fundraiser offers a concrete way to help those Ukrainians caught in the crossfire of senseless Russian aggression. Roughly 40 million people have remained in-country and are facing the threat of Russian attack every minute. Some stay by choice — to defend their country and their beliefs. Others stay out of necessity — to care for aging parents, support disabled friends, or simply because they’re unable to find safe passage out of the conflict zones. Russia continues to bomb and shell civilian areas — homes, schools, hospitals — destroying infrastructure that provides basic services like running water or power. Millions of people are are struggling to find access to food and medicine. While many organizations are providing support to the overwhelming number of refugees, our focus at Daar is to provide aid to those Ukrainians remaining in-country, currently in conflict zones. Quite simply, our goal is to help keep them alive. Daar has partnered with a number of US-based organizations to source donated or heavily discounted items for shipment to Ukraine. We’re already actively shipping medical supplies, medicine, water treatment devices, food, personal protective gear, and other badly needed items. Our contacts on the ground in Ukraine are distributing these shipments across all regions to aid the millions of Ukrainians enduring this nightmare. Daar Foundation is honored to have the support of its incredible Advisory Board, which includes Michael Bleyzer, President & CEO of SigmaBleyzer, and Ambassador William Taylor, Former US Ambassador to Ukraine. Daar is fully run by volunteers — not a single member of the Advisory Board, Executive Board, or Management Team receives any compensation. Daar Foundation, SigmaBleyzer and the Bleyzer family are committed to seeing the people of Ukraine through this crisis, and we will continue to stand with them when the time comes to rebuild the free and democratic nation of Ukraine. Now, we are asking for your partnership and support: stand with us.
