San Francisco Bay Space Artsakh Process Drive raises $100,000 – Public Radio of Armenia

Asbarez – The San Francisco Bay Area Artsakh Task Force Humanitarian Aid Committee donated $ 100,000 to the Insurance Foundation for Soldiers in Armenia at KZV Armenian School in San Francisco on Nov. 12.

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. The participants enjoyed touching musical performances, heard encouraging messages from Bishops Hovnan Derderian and Torkom Donoyan and saw moving personal messages from soldiers from 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. Further information can be found on the Internet.
