Fenway Park Is Setting For Heritage Park Bash

For reservations and other details, visit www.ArmenianHeritagePark.org or call Charles Guleserian at (617) 484-6100.

The park is currently in the final phases of construction and commemorates the 1.5 million lives lost during the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923 and all genocides and celebrates the immigrant experience and contributions made to American life and culture.

It is scheduled for completion next spring, culminating a $6.2-million endeavor which began in 2006 to design and construct the park and to endow public programs, including the October 20 lecture on human rights at Faneuil Hall, annual reconfiguration of the sculpture and the park’s ongoing care and maintenance.

Groundbreaking took place last September with the participation of Gov. Deval Patrick and Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II.

“We are all focused upon raising the final $500,000 by the end of the year to meet the endowment goal. The generous support of 15 church communities has greatly enhanced our efforts in the true spirit of unity and collaboration,” said benefit Chairman George Elanjian. “Over 30 organizations initially stepped forward to see this park reach its fruition. It’s a testament to their generosity and adherence. The entire Armenian-American community is stepping forward.”
