Darussafaka Society

Darüssafaka participated in the 37. Istanbul Marathon!

The Darüssafaka Society, which provides quality education to bright and talented children who have lost one of their parents and have limited financial resources with the mission of "equal opportunity in education" for 152 years, participated in the 37. Istanbul Marathon and received a donation of 125.000 TL!

In the 37. Istanbul Marathon which was held this year on Sunday November 15, 256 volunteers ran and walked for a good cause: for the benefit of Darüssafaka. With their steps they brightened the future of children who lost their mothers or fathers. Between November 9-18, they invited their friends and family members to donate to Darüssafaka. 

The total goal of the marathon campaign / charity walk was to cover the yearly education expenses of 24 students who gained admission to Darüssafaka this year (720.000 TL = approx. 250.000 USD).

This year, the Darüssafaka family’s participation in the marathon was organized with the joint efforts of the Darüssafaka Society, Darüssafaka Alumni Association and Darüssafaka Sports Club. Thanks to the successful organization, Darüssafaka participated in the marathon this year with its most crowded group until today. Almost 300 Darüssafaka students, graduates, employees and volunteers whose hearts beat for Darüssafaka crossed the Bosphorus Bridge together on foot for "equal opportunity in education". They shouted "Education is a must!" 177 volunteers walked and 79 volunteers ran. 29 Darüssafaka 7th grade students joined them.

We believe that lives can only change through education and we need your support to make this happen.

Thank you
