Charity Road Rally from Yerevan to Gyumri Raises Funds for Local Children's Library
On Sunday, the inaugural 'Margarian and Mantashyants' charity road rally took off from Armenia's capital, Yerevan, heading to the country's second-largest city, Gyumri. Participants drove 122 kilometers, concluding their journey at Gyumri's historic Vardanants Square, all with a single goal: to support a local children's library.
On Sunday, Armenia hosted a California-style automotive rally organized by Hovhannes Margarian, founder of the Margarian Law Firm, in collaboration with the Mantashyants Business Club. The motorcade traveled 122 kilometers from Yerevan to Gyumri, crossing the finish line at the iconic Vardanants Square.
Charitable Mission and Fundraising
For every kilometer driven, each participating car donated 1,000 dram. The collected funds were entirely directed to a local library in Gyumri to provide essential educational supplies for the community's children.
"We will drive, donate to the library, and help provide the children with the supplies they need," Hovhannes Margarian stated, according to The Armenian Report.
Participants and Car Culture
A diverse group of enthusiasts joined the rally in a wide variety of vehicles.
- Argo Keshishyan, driving a Porsche Cayenne, emphasized that the event brought together people who might never have met under normal circumstances.
- Sona Yeghiazaryan from the Mantashyants Business Club highlighted the importance of a visible female presence on the country's roads, expressing hope that the rally will become a regular tradition.
Upon the rally's conclusion in Gyumri, local children had the opportunity to interact with the drivers, see the cars up close, and even sit inside them. This engaging finale transformed a simple fundraiser into a vibrant community event.
