The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s 15th annual Telethon will be televised live from Los Angeles on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, from 8 pm. to 8 a.m. Yerevan time. The event will be simulcast across the globe through cable, satellite, and the Internet (armeniafund.org). The Telethon will also be carried live in Armenia, on the local networks H1, Armenia, Shant, and Yerkir Media.
To be held under the slogan “Our Village,” Telethon 2012 aims to raise support for constructing community centers in villages throughout Artsakh as well as providing urgent relief to the Syrian-Armenian community.
In addition to the Telethon, the organization holds various fundraisers in Armenian communities across the world. These events, which include phoneathons and gala dinners, are designed and administered by the fund’s affiliates worldwide, in accordance with the wishes and objectives of local Armenian communities. This year, fundraisers have been held in the United States, Canada (Montreal and Toronto), France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, Greece, Sweden, Great Britain, Austria, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, and Russia (Moscow). Funds raised through all 2012 events will be added to the proceeds of the Telethon, and the grand total will be announced prior to the conclusion of the event.
