Final Call for Submissions for the 2022 AYF Olympics Ad Book

WORCESTER, Mass.—The AYF-YOARF Central Executive and Worcester Steering Committee have announced an extension for the 2022 AYF Olympics Ad Book

The deadline to submit an ad has been extended to Monday, August 8th at 11:59 PM ET.

The AYF Olympics Ad Book is the single largest fundraiser of the organization’s calendar year and has become a memorable keepsake for all who appreciate the tradition that is the AYF Olympics. Inside the AYF Olympics Ad Book, one can find dedicated pages in memory of a loved one, numerous advertisements and encouraging messages from proud grandparents. 

The AYF Olympics Ad Book will be readily available throughout the highly anticipated long weekend in Worcester—the home of the first AYF chapter, “Aram.” The Worcester community will be hosting its first AYF Olympics since 1974.

The AYF stands strong in its 89th year with the financial contributions and moral support of generous alumni and community members. Help sustain this tradition and consider placing an ad to ensure the financial well-being of the AYF so that it is comfortably able to hold a full schedule of programs in 2022 and beyond.

All donations are tax deductible.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
