San Francisco Bay Space Artsakh Activity Pressure Raises $100,000 for Insurance coverage Basis for Servicemen

SAN FRANCISCO – On Friday November 12th, the San Francisco Bay Area Artsakh Task Force Humanitarian Aid Committee (SFBAATF-HAC) donated $ 100,000 to the Insurance Foundation for Soldiers in Armenia (IFS) at the Krouzian-Zekarian-Vasbouragan Armenian School in San Francisco, CA.

Earlier this year, the SFBAATF-HAC hosted a virtual fundraiser that raised $ 100,000 for wounded Artsakh soldiers and families of fallen soldiers.

The very first virtual gala and auction “For our soldiers” attracted over a few hundred visitors. Participants enjoyed touching musical performances, heard encouraging messages from Archbishop Hovnan Derderian and Bishop Torkom Donoyan, and saw moving personal messages from soldiers of Artsakh.

The donations went through the charitable foundation Friends of the Armenian Soldier and Family (FASF) and then to the Insurance Foundation for Soldiers in Armenia (IFS). IFS is a non-governmental organization that provides financial compensation to the families of deceased and wounded soldiers in Armenia and Artsakh.

The San Francisco Bay Area Artsakh Task Force (SFBAATF) was established in October 2020 in response to the 2020 war in Artsakh with a particular focus on assisting Artsakh by coordinating regional efforts. More information is available at www.facebook.com/BayAreaArtsakhTaskForce.
