Dear St. Mary Parish Family,
The AGBU Orange County Saturday School at St. Mary has asked us to share the following opportunity with our parishioners.
On Sunday, September 20, 2026, the AGBU Orange County Saturday School will take part in the AGBU Global Run for Camp Nairi during its annual picnic at Mason Regional Park. A family-friendly 5K walk around Mason Lake will begin at 10:00 a.m. from Picnic Shelter #3 (see the attached map).
The Global Run supports Camp Nairi’s free programs for children and families in Armenia affected by war, displacement, trauma, and loss. Since 2021, Camp Nairi has offered experiences that restore safety, rebuild hope, and promote healing. One hundred percent of donations go directly to this campaign.
AGBU Orange County Saturday School hopes to lead in both participation and funds raised. That effort is stronger when the wider parish community joins in—students, parents, relatives, teachers, and friends of the school and of St. Mary.
Please support in two ways:
1. Donate to the school campaign
Visit the AGBU Orange County Saturday School fundraising page and give any amount.
2. Register and create your own fundraising page
Visit the Team Greater Los Angeles registration page, register as a participant, and create a personal fundraising page. Add your name, a photograph, a fundraising goal, and a short message. Please identify yourself as part of AGBU Orange County Saturday School, and remember to order the correct T-shirt size.
Each parishioner, student, parent, family member, and teacher can create a page and invite others to give. Every registration counts. Even a modest personal goal helps build a strong team.
Please share your page with relatives, friends, coworkers, and your social networks. If your employer offers a matching-gift program, that can multiply the impact.
Register, donate, create your page, and walk with the community on September 20. We hope to see many from St. Mary at Shelter #3.
Thank you for your support.
In Christ,
St. Mary Parish
(forwarded at the request of AGBU Orange County Saturday School)
