On Saturday, May 9, 2020, AMAA partnered with Talin Avakian, active member and leader of a weekly Zumba Ministry at the Armenian Evangelical Church of New York (AECNYC), and Anet’s Collection to host a fun virtual Zumba class. Partial proceeds from this event helped buy meals from struggling small restaurants for First Responders and Food Banks, support small businesses, while the rest contributed to alleviate the financial hardships caused by the outbreak, acquisition of medical supplies, access to health and social support services, and other unforeseen consequences the outbreak has caused.
