One of the world's leading cryptocurrency operation platforms Binance, and its major branch Binance NFT are known to be generous benefactors. Thus, in the early days after the war outbreak in Ukraine, Binance and its Binance Charity Relief Fund have never stopped aiding, with over $11 million raised by the time of writing these lines.
And now, Binance is ready to bring another charitable initiative to the world in partnership with Ukraine's award-winning FC Shakhtar Donetsk. The brand new NFT endeavor as part of the club’s charity program Football for Peace features eleven signed jerseys from FC Shakhtar Donetsk players, including Ukrainian football stars Taras Stepanenko, Mikhail Mudryk, and Andriy Pyatov, as well as the club's coaches. The Football for Peace is a charitable initiative by Shakhtar as part of which the club organizes friendly matches with all the proceeds from the ticket sales to aid children affected by war in Ukraine.
The winning bidders will be rewarded with a physical FC Shakhtar Donetsk jersey adorned with the Football for Peace logo and will contain signatures of all FC Shakhtar Donetsk players and coaches. Isn't it a cherished dream of any Shakhtar’s avid rooter?
But that's not all. In addition to the auction, which starts on May 7th and will last for a week, there will also be a drop of 10,000 NFT Mystery Boxes priced at 10 BUSD.
According to the Binance blog post, "all proceeds from the auction and Mystery Boxes sales will be donated to the Shakhtar Social Fund and Binance Charity Relief Fund in support of Ukrainian victims needing humanitarian assistance."
“Being one of the most popular professional football clubs in Ukraine, FC Shakhtar Donetsk has received much love, affection, and support from our loyal fans over the years. We are dedicated to helping the Ukrainian community rise back stronger from this crisis. Blockchain is ideal for this given the transparency and accountability that it provides,” Sergei Palkin, CEO of FC Shakhtar Donetsk, commented on the initiative.
The horror of war in Ukraine showed the world how fragile and valuable the peaceful skies above are. Don't pass by, as brave Ukrainian people urgently need help to stand for freedom and peace, and win this war against Russian fascists. Mark your calendars and collect top-notch NFTs alongside helping innocent Ukrainian people.
