Penguins from Antarctica are raising money for the pickup for Igor Tsan's unit in Pokrovsk 🐧| Fundraiser is over, the car is ordered

UPDATE FROM 16.10.2025

The penguins are waiting for their heroes! Friends, I would like to sincerely thank everyone for their concern and help in raising funds for a pickup truck for KULUAR team leader Igor Tsan. Thanks to numerous donations, helping jars, and your support, we have raised:

• 358 137 грн – to the jar, of which 59,000 UAH was transferred by KULUAR for new reviews on Google
• 550 dollars on PayPal, which were not withdrawn to the jar, but were sent immediately as a deposit for the car
• 381,067 UAH – total amount collected

During our fundraiser, we looked at about 15, maybe even 20 cars, mainly three models: Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi L200. It was important to find a car in good condition, without a rotten frame.
In the end, we settled on a Ford. The purchase price + delivery to Ukraine amounted to £6,370, which is equivalent to 355,820 UAH.
Logistics in Ukraine and re-equipment are additional costs, so we will see how much they will be. If it turns out to be less than the total amount of the raise, we will add the balance to the permanent expenses of Igor's department. If it is more, we will cover it from KULUAR.
We were lucky with the car, and we had to buy it quickly, so we paid for it from the club's PayPal reserves. The car is already on its way to Ukraine!
I will tell you more when the car is delivered to the unit.
Returning to our penguins! Congratulations to the three winners:

1. Martha E. — 400 uah
2. Anna M. — 1213 uah
3. Julia K. — 2908 uah
4. Ruslan Sch. — 59 000 uah (donation from KULUAR, therefore not counted)
5. Yaroslava S. — 4343 UAH (backup option if the first ones cannot be contacted)

Girls, please write your details so we can send you the cards!

Has everyone already seen Ptushkin’s film “Antarctica”? Or at least heard of it?
Well then — I’ve got a real Antarctic exclusive for you!

🎁 Prizes for donors: postcards with greetings from Antarctica itself. And not just any — with real station postmarks and signatures from members of the Ukrainian expedition.
Two out of three feature penguins. And one has a seagull. But a pretty one.

Special thanks to Anastasiia, a member of the expedition, who passed along these postcards in advance for a future fundraiser. They’ve been waiting for their moment — and here it is.

We’re raising funds for a pickup truck for KULUAR’s team leader, Ihor Tsan.
His unit is on one of the hottest fronts. Unfortunately, their vehicles have been partially or completely destroyed, and we urgently need to cover the need for a new pickup.

We’re choosing between a Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, or Mitsubishi L200. We want a good, not-too-old truck that won’t break down. Because a bad vehicle isn’t help — it’s a headache.

Estimated cost: €7,000–€7,500. So the goal is ₴350,000. If we come up short, KULUAR will top it up.

🎟 How to enter:

• Every ₴150 donated = 1 chance to win an Antarctic postcard.
• ₴300 — two chances. And so on.
• If your donation isn’t via Monobank, don’t forget to leave your contact in a comment.

🎯 Three winners:

1. Gets first pick of the postcards 🐧
2. Chooses from the two that remain 🐧
3. Takes the seagull! 🐦 Or not?
