GLENDALE—The Los Angeles Chapter of Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) is hosting its 3rd Annual Casino Royale Fundraising Event on November 10, 2012 in effort to help raise funds for the Computer Lab Project for orphanages in Armenia and for humanitarian relief for the orphanages of Artsakh, Javakhk and Lebanon.
SOAR hopes to raise additional funds for five computer labs for the children in the orphanages in Armenia and send humanitarian relief to the Armenian orphans in the Diaspora.
