Description
As part of the SERVICE Armenia 2026 trip, participants are raising funds for a Paros project they are passionate about. Lori has chosen to support the Debi Arach Children’s Center in Gyumri for  humanitarian aid. The Center serves children from vulnerable families, providing a safe and supportive environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
Through a walkathon, Lori will raise funds that will directly support the children’s essential needs and overall well-being. Your support will make a meaningful difference in their lives and help create a brighter future.
A message from Lori:
This summer, I have the incredible opportunity to travel to Armenia with The Paros Foundation as part of a three-week service project alongside students from across the world.
One of the most meaningful parts of my trip will be supporting an organization called Debi Arach, which provides essential resources to families in need in Armenia. When I arrive, I will be personally delivering the funds I’ve raised directly to the organization where they will be used to purchase backpacks, school supplies, winter coats, boots, groceries, and other necessities for families who need them most.
I am organizing a fun walkathon to raise funds for Debi Arach, and I would love your support. I am asking each of you for a minimum donation of $25 and to walk alongside me on June 7th. My goal is to raise $3,000, and with your support, I know we can get there. Of course any amount is greatly appreciated and every dollar makes a difference. If you’re not able to attend the walk, please still consider making a donation.
Event Details
• Date: Sunday June 7
• Start Time: 8:00am

Whether you’re walking by my side or supporting me from afar, every contribution will make a real difference.
Thank you for believing in me and for supporting a cause that matters. It means the world.
