We celebrated our foundation's 45th anniversary with Koruncuk Friends!

As Koruncuk Foundation, we gathered with our Friends at The Peninsula Hotel on Wednesday, December 11th, to discuss our 45 years of experience through a series of events and to reinforce the spirit of solidarity.

This meaningful evening was attended by leading companies from the business world that support social responsibility projects for girls and the community. GRED | Knight Frank GRED | Knight Frank is a global real estate company with approximately 500 offices worldwide, including its office in Bebek. The company has become a leading sponsor of the Koruncuk Foundation. The success story of its founders, Meltem Türker, through education, and Knut Gaskjenn's international experience in supporting child welfare organizations across Asia, have enabled the company to forge strong ties with the Koruncuk Foundation's mission.

Speaking at the 45th anniversary dinner, Attorney Dr. Figen Samuray, Chairperson of the Board of Trustees and Management of the Koruncuk Foundation, said, “This 45-year journey is just the beginning. Because the dreams of every girl child call us to a greater future. We are here to see and show more girls hope in their eyes, courage in their hearts, and opportunities on their paths, and we will continue our work.”.

Jülide Berkman, Vice President of the Koruncuk Foundation, said regarding the significance of the evening, “Being here tonight is not just a celebration; it means sharing hope. For 45 years, the Koruncuk Foundation has touched the lives not only of our children but of all of us. We have seen that turning a child's dream into reality changes a life and moves a society forward.”.

Later in the evening, Pınar Türker Uygun, owner of Artopol Art Gallery and also a member of the Koruncuk Foundation Board of Trustees, and Oylum Talu, who hosted the event, organized a small art activity together to contribute to the education of girls.

Actor Çağlar Ertuğrul, who has been supporting the Koruncuk Foundation in every way for many years, also attended the event.

The proceeds from the event will be used to support the education and basic needs of girls living in Koruncuk villages.
