Southfield, MI – On Saturday October 24th, 2009 the Terchoonian
Home Foundation’s 2nd Bi-Annual Fundraising Party took place and
was a complete success. The sold out crowd of over 500 people were
entertained throughout the evening with music and performances by an
authentic Mariachi band, Shrine Highlanders, Detroit Salsa Dancers,
Levendes Greek Band, Khoren Mouradian and "D-On-Knowns", violinist
Yervand Kalajian, and the headline singer for the evening Harout
Khatchoyan.
Mr. Herman Hintiryan, head of the Terchoonian Home Foundation, was
extremely surprised and pleased with the turnout and the amount raised
for the children. He says they were expecting a very modest turnout
given the economic climate being endured in the state of Michigan.
One of the high points of the evening took place at midnight with
the raffle being drawn. The grand prize of a Mediterranean Cruise for
two, generously donated by Yezekyan Fine Jewelry of Boca Raton, FL,
was won by Mr. & Mrs. Aram Churukian of Livonia, Michigan. Following
the raffle was another crowd favorite, the serving of soujouk and eggs.
The singers and performers went on into the early hours of Sunday
morning.
Mission Statement: The Terchoonian Home Foundation raises money and
other supplies for the Terchoonian Home Orphanage which is located
in Gyumri, Armenia.
Everybody at Terchoonian Home Foundation would like to express their
gratitude to everyone who attended, contributed, performed, and helped
with this event. Through everyone’s support the evening was extremely
enjoyable and successful.
