Bridge to Türkiye Fund Bike Ride Down Turkey's Aegean Coast
October 22 to November 4
700 Miles
Çanakkale to Antalya
Our partner organization Bridge to Türkiye Fund (BTF) is getting ready to ride once again! Their upcoming cycle tour of Turkey's Aegean coast will raise money for books, clothes, and scholarships for underprivileged children in rural Eastern Turkey. In addition to North Carolina cyclists, riders from Turkey will be joining BTF in covering 80-110 km per day.
Between now and October 1, each donation you make to BTF will be matched 1:1 by the Triangle Community Foundation. Many companies also offer employee donation matching programs, so be sure to check with your employer once you've donated.
