Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s raised the smallest amount collected throughout its existence
A total of US $ 9.856.100 have been raised in donations and pledges at the 22nd annual Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s Telethon 2019 held under the slogan “To my beloved Armenia … Water and Sun for Communities.” The amount is the smallest collected throughout its existence. The Telethon was televised live on Armenian Public TV. This year, the first four hours of the Thanksgiving Telethon aired live from Yerevan, and the other eight hours from Los Angeles.
The funds raised during the Fund’s flagship fundraising event will go towards the development of potable water and solar energy infrastructures in Artsakh and three regions of Armenia-Lori, Tavush and Shirak. The initiatives will help improve lives of our compatriots in over 100 beneficiary communities, by providing them with regular water supply, free heating and electricity.
Among major donors of this year’s Telethon were “Tashir group”/Samvel Karapetyan (1.500.000 $), Samvel Aleksanyan (200.000 $), Vardanyan family “Grand Holding” (60.000.000 AMD), commercial banks (57.000.000 AMD), Ararat bank (40.000.000 AMD), The Police of the RA (19.500.000 AMD).
