In January of 2004, the Children for Chernobyl Relief Fund applied for membership to the Ukrainian Cultural Center of New Jersey. CCRF has decided to make the Cultural Center its International Headquarters, and requested permanent office and storage space in the facility. Presenting the application to the Building Committee Vice Chairman, Orest Kucyna (center), are Dr. Zenon Matkiwsky (right), CCRF President and Chairman, and Alexander Kuzma (left), CCRF Executive Director.

CCRF is an award-winning international charity that works closely with the United States Department of State as well as New Jersey's medical community and pharmaceutical industry to provide advanced technology, medication and humanitarian aid to hospitals and orphanages in Ukraine. The fund has focused its efforts on aiding newborn infants, pregnant mothers and children who continue to suffer the effects of the world's largest nuclear disaster.
