TV marathon organized by All Armenia Fund recorded exceptional $13.7 million result. The fund has never had such outcome with the highest being $12 million. The 9th marathon of All Armenia Fund aimed to raise money for the implementation of “Revival of Artsakh” project. Such outcome could be predicted since the fund had received donations before November 23, the day of TV marathon.
Public relations department of the fund said before the start of the marathon $2.4 million were collected – $1.2 million from Armenia and $1.4 million from Europe.
Sargis Hakobyan made a promise to donate $550 thousand for the development of Hadrut region of Artsakh. Luiz Simon Manukyan promised to donate another $500 thousand. Alber Boyajyan, member of board of director of All Armenia Fund, announced about a donation of his friend, Jery Turpanjyan – in the amount of $1 million 250 thousand. Another big donation was made by Vahe Karapetyan – $1.5 million. Kirk Kirkoryan donated $2 million through Linz Foundation. Ara Abrahamyan, chairman of the Union of Armenians in Russia, promised to donate $1 million. American Project Cure announced about its donation in the amount of $2 million. The same organization also sent medical equipment amounting $1.5 million to a regional hospital in Martakert.
The foundation will provide the complete list of benefactors in its May, 2007 newsletter.
