In the heart of Los Angeles, a new kind of Armenian gathering is taking shape—one rooted in connection, culture, and conscious giving.
Meet Yeraz Blend, a semi-annual event series created by young Armenian professionals in LA. Their mission? To bring the community together around shared values and vibrant experiences while supporting organizations making a tangible impact in Armenia.
This fall, they’re back with another highly anticipated event—this time raising funds for The Paros Foundation, an organization that’s spent nearly two decades quietly but powerfully transforming lives across Armenia.

This upcoming event will blend meaningful fundraising with great music, good wine, and a gathering of like-minded Armenian changemakers in an intimate, curated setting.
What Is Yeraz Blend?
Yeraz Blend was born out of a desire to bring young Armenians in LA together—not just to celebrate culture, but to blend purpose with fun.
The name Yeraz, meaning dream in Armenian, reflects a deeper vision: that a stronger Armenian future can be built through small but consistent acts of intentional community-building.
Each event spotlights a different Armenian nonprofit, combining fundraising with thoughtfully curated social experiences that allow attendees to meet like-minded peers, network, and give back in meaningful ways.
This isn’t your typical gala or formal banquet. It’s casual, cool, and deeply intentional—designed to spark connection and leave guests feeling inspired, not just entertained.
At previous events, Yeraz Blend has sold out quickly, filling venues with warm energy, Armenian pride, and genuine community. From handcrafted wine selections to elegant ambiance and meaningful conversations, the vibe is always one of depth and authenticity.
Why The Paros Foundation?
This quarter, Yeraz Blend has partnered with The Paros Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit that has completed over 380+ projects in Armenia since its founding in 2006.
From educational centers and art programs to medical clinics, orphan support, and refugee housing, Paros operates with a rare level of transparency: 100% of donor contributions go directly to projects.
Their focus? Creating sustainable, community-driven solutions in regions that need it most—including Gyumri and Tavush, two areas with deep historical significance and present-day challenges.
Paros’ model is refreshingly clear: no overhead, no guesswork—just impact.
Paros by the Numbers
- 19 years of impact
- 389 completed projects
- 42 projects currently in progress
- Serving all of Armenia, with special emphasis on Gyumri & Tavush

Spotlight on Two Key Projects
Artsakh Refugee Support Fund
In response to the mass displacement of families from Artsakh, The Paros Foundation has provided permanent housing to 42 displaced families, and delivered broader humanitarian support to elderly refugees and other vulnerable groups. The effort even includes a dedicated elderly care center for those most at risk.
Debi Arach Children’s Center (Gyumri)
Operating since 2015, Debi Arach (“Move Forward”) offers daily meals, emotional support, and after-school education to children living in extreme poverty—empowering the next generation to thrive despite hardship.
