Christmas telethon slated for Sunday
October 19, 2012
It's that time again. The 13th annual Armenian American Orphans
Christmas Fund will host its telethon fundraiser Sunday in an ongoing
effort to give thousands of orphans in Armenia a Christmas.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised over the years, with
money benefiting restoration and renovation projects in impoverished
regions of Armenia, as well as delivering holiday gifts to orphans.
Continuing with the tradition, a parade of local and state officials
are expected to make appearances at the telethon, including
Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake), L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca,
Glendale Mayor Frank Quintero and a number of local city council and
school board members.
The telethon will be aired by Armenian Media Group of America (AMGA)
television studios in Glendale from 4 p.m. to midnight Sunday. The
event will be simultaneously aired live on local cable channels 380
(AMGA), 381 (High Vision), 384 (AABC) and 386 (US Armenia), organizers
announced.
