AEF to Celebrate 75th Anniversary Gala

The Armenian Educational Foundation is proud to announce that its highly anticipated 75th Anniversary Gala has officially sold out. The milestone event will take place on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, bringing together community members, leaders, and supporters to celebrate seven and a half decades of transformative impact on Armenian education and cultural development.

The gala will honor distinguished leaders and visionaries including Dr. C. L. Max Nikias, Ruben Vardanyan, Veronika Zonabend, and Vahe Hacopian, highlighting their extraordinary contributions to education, philanthropy, and community advancement. Gregory Zarian, Emmy-nominated actor and advocate, will serve as the evening’s Master of Ceremonies, guiding attendees through a program of reflection, recognition, and inspiration.

“This sold-out celebration is a powerful testament to the enduring mission of AEF and the trust our community places in our work,” said Gina Felikian, gala committee co-chair. “We are thrilled to honor these remarkable individuals whose leadership continues to inspire future generations and strengthen Armenian education worldwide.”

Proceeds from the evening will directly support AEF’s ongoing efforts, including scholarship programs, school renovations, STEM initiatives, and other educational projects across Armenia and the diaspora.
