A Firsthand Account of War, Captivity, and Survival

Join us for a powerful and deeply moving evening with Shaun Pinner, former Russian prisoner of war, Ukraine war veteran, and author of
Live, Fight, Survive: The Inside Story of a Soldier Captured in Ukraine.

Shaun will share his firsthand experiences fighting alongside Ukrainian forces and surviving captivity as a Russian POW. His talk offers an unfiltered, human perspective on modern warfare — one shaped by resilience, courage, and the will to endure in unimaginable circumstances.

Through his story, Shaun sheds light on:

  • His decision to fight for Ukraine
  • Life on the front lines
  • The realities of captivity as a prisoner of war
  • Survival, resilience, and recovery
  • The lasting human cost of war

This event provides a rare opportunity to hear directly from someone who lived the conflict — not through headlines, but through lived experience.

ELEVATE YOUR WEEKEND

Please join us the following night at our Quadrennial Gala for Ukraine where Shaun Pinner will continue sharing his story through an on-stage conversation, along with a special dinner, auction, and evening program.
