The Help Armenian Children NGO, with the assistance of Armenia’s Basketball Federation, has organized a charity match on Thursday, June 12, between the Hatis team and one from Yerevan State University.

A fundraiser will take place during the game to benefit 3 year-old Denis Asryan, a child who suffers from Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune disorder where the body's own immune system starts to attack and destroy cells and tissues (particularly in the joints) for no apparent reason.

The boy needs to undergo surgery in Israel since such medical procedures are not available in Armenia.
