Armenian-American museum telethon set for February 17

The Armenian American Museum is set to host its inaugural Telethon on Sunday, February 17 to raise awareness and raise funds for the historic project.

The highly anticipated television event will be live broadcasted and streamed to a wide audience across the United States and around the world, Asbarez reports.

The Telethon will air on Sunday, February 17 from 4 pm to 10pm Pacific Standard Time (PST) and can be watched on ARTN TV, USArmeniaTV, Horizon TV, KVMD TV, Facebook Live, YouTube Live, and online on the Museum website.

“We are excited to introduce and present the Armenian American Museum project to a worldwide audience during the Telethon on February 17,” stated Museum Executive Chairman Berdj Karapetian. “We invite the community to watch the Telethon and make a donation to support the cause.”

Proceeds from the Telethon will benefit the Armenian American Museum Groundbreaking Campaign. The City of Glendale, home to one of the largest Armenian diaspora communities, has dedicated premier land for the project in downtown Central Park. The Telethon will kick off a year of events, fundraisers, and activities leading up to the highly anticipated groundbreaking celebration.

The Armenian American Museum will be the first world-class cultural and educational center of its kind in America. The Museum program will feature a Permanent Armenian Exhibition, Traveling Multicultural Exhibitions, Performing Arts Theater, Learning Center, and more.
