YEREVAN. – Armenian News-NEWS.am on Sunday held its annual charity event at Northern Avenue in downtown Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia. 

The proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will go to the families of the military servicemen who fell in Nagorno-Karabakh in April as well as to socially disadvantaged families, with children.

Overall, 2 million 450 thousand drams (approx. US$5,127) were donated during the event.

Although the charity event is over, the fundraising continues and those who wish can still donate.

In particular, the event brought together Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan; Deputy PM Vache Gabrielyan; ministers Arpine Hovhannisyan, Davit Lokyan, and Artem Asatryan; National Assembly Vice President Hermine Naghdalyan; numerous MPs; politicians; and Artak Beglaryan, Spokesperson of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Prime Minister.

Also, public and political figures as well as celebrities and well-known athletes sold ice cream to raise funds.

In addition, the children who visited the charity event received gifts, and games—with the participation of cartoon characters, were organized for them.

An outdoor concert was also held throughout the fundraiser.

On the occasion of International Children’s Day—which is officially observed on June 1—, Armenian News-NEWS.am organizes a charity event every year, and the proceeds go to needy children.
