inGroup CEO and Co-Founder Michael Hutchison was honored with the Honorary Award of the Kyiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry in recognition of his significant personal contributions, extraordinary humanitarian leadership and unwavering support for Ukraine, Ukraine inCruises Partners and Members, and the charitable foundation Stand with Ukraine.
Established under the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine, Stand with Ukraine provides critical psychological and physical rehabilitation services for children affected by the ongoing war. Children helped through this program are evacuated from frontline regions or returned from occupied territories, many of whom have lost their homes and, in some case, one or both parents.
“On behalf of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the leadership of the Stand with Ukraine Charitable Foundation, and our friends in Ukraine, we would like to thank Michael for his continued support and humanitarian efforts over the last few years,” said Valeriy Korol, Vice President for International Relations of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “His assistance has directly helped more than 800 Ukrainian children who have been deeply affected by the war. Together with the families of these children, we recognize Michael’s civic commitment and the humanist principles he upholds.”
Hutchison visited Ukraine twice to spend time at the children’s rehabilitation camp, participating in therapeutic activities, workshops and recreational programs designed to foster healing, hope and resilience.
“Receiving this honor from the Kyiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry is humbling and meaningful,” said Michael Hutchison, inGroup CEO and Co-Founder. “The courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people, especially the children who have endured so much, continue to inspire me every day. I’m grateful for the opportunity to support the Stand with Ukraine foundation and work alongside so many dedicated individuals helping restore hope, healing and a sense of possibility for these children.”
