The costs of organizing the event were covered by the bank’s employees, led by its Chairman of the Board Igor Finogenov. The funds were not only used to buy gifts for sick children, but also to help cancer centers. According to Mr. Ignatov, part of the money for Yerevan Center was used for renovating the hall of the children’s department.
