The annual Pan-European Phoneathon of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund,
headed by the Fund's French affiliate and held during November 19-23,
raised over 1.37 million euros in donations and pledges.
The large-scale fundraising campaign mobilized the Armenian
communities of France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium. The Greek
community traditionally joined the Phoneathon with their fundraising
held in Greece from November 22 to 23.
Throughout the four-day event, 750 volunteers stationed at Orange
Telecom call centers in Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, and Lyon reached
60,000 households, businesses, and organizations in the participating
countries to request their support.
The Phoneathon was held under the slogan "Talent, charm, and
generosity." The event's godmother and godfather, fashion model and
French Red Cross ambassador Adriana Karembeu and singer Patrick Fiori
(Chouchayan), made impassioned appeals for financial contributions
toward the realization of vital development projects in the Armenian
homeland.
Proceeds form the Phoneathon will be used for the expansion of
agricultural projects in Armenia's Tavush Region, construction of
community centers in Artsakh and assistance to the Armenian community
of Syria.
The following is the breakdown of donations and pledges by country:
France: 1,246,344 euros Germany: 71,345 euros Switzerland: 31,726
euros Greece 21,000 euros Belgium 6,000 euros
