RUF’s ambassadors have a wide range of talents and achievements, but they all share a commitment to improving the lives of Romanians, worldwide. And in each case, the ambassador’s association with RUF comes about because he or she has already demonstrated that commitment.
They can use their talents and fame to fundraise and advocate for Romanians and support RUF’s mission to bring together the Romanian community through Philanthropy.
We are also proud to work with and to have been mentioned by:
