BTF-SAN DIEGO TRIATHLON FOR GIRLS EDUCATION

Dear Donors,

First of all, THANK YOU you for your generous donation to our Girls Education cause! I’m pleased to inform you that we raised a total of $5379 with your support via Crowdrise and cash donations at the simit/cay breakfast.

Secondly, I’d like to THANK those who participated in the triathlon either as an individual or relay team member. I’m attaching a couple of pictures of the participants before and after just in case some of the donors did not see pictures on the Bridge to Turkiye Fund Facebook page. I’m proud of all of you — especially those of you who had the courage to do your first triathlon for a great cause.

Thirdly, I’d like to THANK those BTF-SD volunteers who organized and served the breakfast in Del Mar on August 2nd.

Finally, I wanted to be sure you all understand how your donations will be used. Two years ago, we began supporting 8 Turkish girls’ education with donations from the BTF-San Diego Piano Concert. Last year, our San Diego Giving Circle performed a number of fundraising activities to keep supporting those students. 100 percent of your contributions to this triathlon fundraiser will be used for continued education of those 8 students during the 2015-16 academic year.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
