BOSTON, Mass.—The Armenian Heritage Foundation, the sponsor of the Armenian Heritage Park, gratefully acknowledges and appreciates the past support received from the Armenian community of Massachusetts and beyond. After almost nine years in the making, the Armenian Heritage Park on the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway in Boston is now completed and open to the public. It truly exemplifies the perseverance and the generosity of the Armenian community.
The park shall forever stand in tribute to our Armenian heritage, remember the victims of the Armenian Genocide, and believe in the courage of our ancestors, who were forced to leave their homeland, travel to our shores, and begin life anew. As the park is a gift from the Massachusetts Armenian community to the City of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Heritage Foundation is responsible for its annual care and maintenance in perpetuity.
For this purpose, the foundation has launched the “I Care” Endowed Fund Campaign. The goal is to raise an additional $1.25 million (to build the fund to $2 million) and to generate the annual interest required to ensure the park’s annual care and maintenance with current estimates at $82,000 annually. To date, $750,000 of the $2million has been raised.
Unfortunately, due to the poor investment climate, the committee must again reach out to the community and supporters, to now ask for their support for the park’s annual care and maintenance. Your financial support, as generous as possible, will be very much appreciated and will help to keep the park alive, healthy, and beautiful. If you have given in the past, consider adding to your contribution. However, if you have yet to support, this is a perfect opportunity to show “I Care” with your generous donation. You may either contribute online at www.ArmenianHeritagePark.org or by mail (with your check made payable to the Armenian Heritage Foundation) to Armenian Heritage Foundation, 25 Flanders Road, Belmont, MA 02478. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent of the law.
