$20.8 million pledged at Telethon 2010
Yerevan, November 26, 2010 -Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is pleased to
announce that it successfully concluded its 13th International Telethon by
raising yet another record breaking $20.8 million in pledges. The live 12
hour show aired from KCET Hollywood Studios and reached millions of
households globally on satellite and cable networks, as well as Internet.
The live program featured a rich presentation of Armenian music and
entertainment, as well as celebrities, political and community leaders, and
long time Armenia Fund supporters and donors.
The Telethon culminates Armenia Fund's global fundraising campaigns that
included Phone-a-thons, gala dinners, charity concerts, radiothons as well
as the annual benefit gala held in Moscow and the 11th Pan-European
Phone-a-thon held in Paris. The funds collected through the 2010 fundraising
drive will help provide solutions to the critical issues of clean drinking
water and irrigation water in Artsakh. We will also continue our ambitious
rural development program in the border villages of Armenia and Artsakh
through a comprehensive and embracive development strategy, bringing
visible, feasible and profound change where it is needed most.
We will accept donations through the Haypost offices across Armenia until
the end of the year and on-line on himnadram.org web site. SMS donations can
be made by November 30, by sending a text message including the donor's name
and surname /or empty/ to the short number 8000, which will transfer 500 AMD
to the Fund's account. To date, close to 20 000 SMS donations and 10 000
post office donations have been accepted.
We would like to inform that by December 15 a press-conference will be
invited by the executive director of the Hayastan Fund Ara Vardanyan
providing detailed information regarding total number of donors and pledges.
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund expresses its sincere gratitude to Armenian
communities across the world for growing support to the Fund's nation
building mission.
