AGEMIAN ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHES YEARLY DONATION OF $10,000 CAD TO AGBU TORONTO
The Agemian Organization recently established a $1 million CAD
philanthropic fund to be administered by the Agemian and Moussakhanian
families in Toronto, Canada, in order to support various national and
international non-profit endeavors, one of which is the AGBU Toronto
Chapter.
Initiated by Souren & Lili Agemian, and administered by their
children, Souren Jr. & Rosemary Agemian, and Eddie & Carol
Moussakhanian, the fund reaches out to a myriad of worthy causes
within Ontario and beyond. Carol Moussakhanian, Executive Director of
the fund, stated, “[I am] pleased to submit our first check to AGBU,
which I am sure you will put to good use.” The three families plan to
send a similar amount every year.
An annual donation of $10,000 from the fund to AGBU Toronto will help
support the numerous activities and programs organized by the Chapter
that keep the community energized. The senior Agemians, who are AGBU
Honor Members, are no strangers to the local Armenian circle. For more
than two decades, they have been very active within both the local
AGBU community and many other worthy Armenian associations abroad.
“It is quite exciting to see that the second generation of Armenian
immigrants realize the importance of organizations like AGBU and the
necessary work being performed to preserve our Armenian heritage,”
said Eugene Karadjian, Secretary-Treasurer & Director of AGBU Toronto.
The AGBU Toronto Chapter is committed to preserving and promoting the
Armenian identity and heritage through educational, cultural and
humanitarian programs. For more information on AGBU Toronto, please
