Seattle To Portland (STP)
From Seattle to Portland, 205 miles of biking challenge has turned into gifts for 327 students in 5 village schools to give them equal opportunities in education. Bike4JusticeInEducation is organized and accomplished by Ozgur Arman and M. Burak Senol on Jul 15, 2017. They participated STP as they do every year. This time they call for action to their friends:
“It’s another year of STP (Seattle To Portland Bike Ride) and we’ll be pedaling from Seattle to Portland between July 15th and 16th. This is not new to us, we have completed STP ride last year after 205 miles of pain and sometimes agony but an ending in pure joy. This year, we would like to make our ride count! So we decided to dedicate our STP ride to a fund raising event where we’ll raise money for education of underprivileged children in Turkey through BTF (Bridge to Turkey Fund).
We know that it all starts with education! However it’s also true that not everyone has access to a great education resources. We believe that “justice” is needed in creating education equality and we have a moral obligation to support education and resources needed to make it accessible to all. BTF is dedicated to contribute to the development of under-served segments of the Turkish society, with emphasis in children’s education and health care. We would like to support BTF’s mission and dedicate our STP ride to a fundraising event that will support education for underprivileged children in Turkey.
Come and cross the bridge with us! Please support this great cause and help us raise money! Please feel free to share the fundraiser to others whom might be interested in supporting our cause.
Thank you!
M.Burak Senol & Ozgur Arman”
The outcome of this event was amazing. We are able to send winter boots, coats, elementary and kindergarten books to village school students so that they can go to school warm in cold winter days, they can read the best quality books that are selected among the best World and Turkish Classics, collection of 135 elementary books and 80 kindergarten books.
Thank you Ozgur and Burak! You spread a big luck and happiness to all these kids by giving the gift of education. Raising the awareness to support BTF 4Kids programs around your inner social circle was just another successful impact you brought in.
