Honouring the Past

exceptional history is directly attributed to your support. Shumka honours this
foundation and will continue to build upon it by furthering the legacy with

Making it Happen
Shumka operates within tight financial guidelines established and managed by
the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers Foundation, which is comprised of current dancers
and alumni. Shumka is a lean operation that takes strides to stretch every dollar
to its fullest.
Knowing Your Donation Counts
Your generous support makes you an integral part of ensuring Shumka's growth
and expansion now and into the future. Alan Kellogg of the Edmonton Journal
provides an insightful arts community perspective on the company...
"Shumka...comes as close to institutional status in the arts as it gets.....
A truly remarkable Canadian arts story.... Remarkable, because Shumka has developed
into a company professional in nearly every respect other than name itself.
That such strides could be made by an amateur organization is the stuff of textbooks,
a convincing case study on the possibilities that can spring from hard work
and artistic focus. It's unprecedented in Canada."
