YEREVAN.  – The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund on Thursday will hold its 19th annual Telethon, under the slogan “My Artsakh.”

Proceeds from the pan-national event will benefit the rebuilding of war-ravaged communities in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), emergency and disaster preparedness for Armenia and Artsakh, and the construction of homes for Artsakh families with multiple children, the Fund informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In addition, donor-specified projects as well as projects within the framework of the fund’s core development programs will continue to be implemented in Armenia and Artsakh.

The Telethon will be broadcast from Los Angeles, beginning 10pm Armenia Standard Time. The 12-hour event will air live in Armenia on major television networks as well as online at www.himnadram.org.

The Telethon will encapsulate the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund’s completed and ongoing projects this year.

The broadcast will conclude with an announcement of the total amount raised through the Telethon as well as various fundraising campaigns and events carried out by the fund’s worldwide affiliates in 2016.
