Armenia Fund is launching its traditional fund-raising phonethon

Fund Executive Board will be made to around 2500 Armenian business
organizations. Funds raised in Phoneathon – 2007 will support
development of Armenian and Karabakh rural communities.

The Armenia Fund’s annual phoneathons are conducted on the eve of its
Telethons. "Donations to the Phoneathon – 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.

Phoneathons headed by the Fund’s French local committee take place
in a number of European countries. Phoneathons conducted in Armenia,
Europe and Argentina have secured significant increases in donations
during the last three years.

The Phonetahon will be held from 14 -16 including.
