The Armenia Fund is launching its traditional fund-raising phonethon
on November 14.
To encourage donor participation, calls from the Fund Executive Board
will be made to around 2500 Armenian business organizations. Funds
raised in Phonethon – 2007 will support development of Armenian and
Karabakh rural communities.
The Armenia Fund’s annual phonethons are conducted on the eve of its
Telethons. "Donations to the Phonethon – 2007 will be directed to
the newly adopted Rural Development Project, the selected beneficiary
project for this year. The event will strengthen recognition by the
Armenian community of their duty for National Giving and encourage
public participation in the forthcoming Telethon – symbol of our
unity and dedication," The Armenia Fund Executive Director Vahe
Aghabegians said.
Phonethons headed by the Fund’s French local committee take place
in a number of European countries. Phonethons conducted in Armenia,
Europe and Argentina have secured significant increases in donations
during the last three years.
The Phonethon will be held from 14 -16 included.
