PanARMENIAN.Net - The Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR)
will celebrate its sixth anniversary on October 22 at The Woman's
Club of Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.
The event will include an open bar, mezza, buffet dinner, silent
auction and entertainment provided by vocalist Marina V and pianist
Karine Poghosyan, The Armenian Mirror Spectator reported.
SOAR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, registered in the U.S.
and Armenia, whose mission is to distribute food, clothing, medicine,
educational supplies and other essential resources to orphanages
throughout Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and Javakhk. The organization is
composed of a National Board of Directors, chapter boards in 14 cities
throughout the US and Armenia, a Board of Trustees headquartered in
Philadelphia and partners in Armenia who all volunteer their time.
Founded by George and Erica Yacoubian in May 2006, shortly after they
adopted their older daughter, Liliana, from Armenia, SOAR is the
only non-profit organization that focuses exclusively on providing
humanitarian relief to orphaned children living in Armenia, Nagorno
Karabagh and Javakhk.
SOAR also supports an annual summer camp in Tsaghkadzor, which
accommodates 800-1,000 orphaned and otherwise disadvantaged children
between the ages of 8 and 15, aiming to lessen the immediate and
long-term impact of poverty in children's lives through a wide range
of athletic, cultural, spiritual and social activities.
