Telethon results-more than $11 million

On November 25, the “Hayastan” Fund’s annual Telethon was launched in
Los-Angeles. The funds raised during this event will be directed to
the construction of the North-South highway started four years
ago. This year’s Telethon was of great success: promises of more than
$11 million were received. Due to this amount the construction of
the160 km long highway will be continued. Armenians worldwide took
part in this event: our compatriots from Armenia, NKR and Diaspora
lent a hand to this project. It should be mentioned that donations of
1 million and 100 thousand dollars were received from Armenia and
NKR. 800.000 Euros were raised during the Phonethon in France
conducted earlier, and about 15 million drams were received from the
Armenian Phonethon.

Among the big donors were Louise Simone Manoogian, Hrair Hovnanian,
Kevork Hovnanian, Sarkis Hakopian, Eduardo Ernekian, Caroline Mugar,
Gerard Cafesjian, Ara Abrahamyan and others.
