On November 5, employees from Mauser Packaging Solutions in Turkey participated in the Istanbul Eurasia Marathon, the only intercontinental marathon in the world, to raise donations for the Darussafaka Education Association1. The 20-member team enjoyed a sunny day on their run from Asia to Europe on the Bosporus Bridge and collected $6,200 in donations from 129 contributors to be distributed as educational scholarships to students affected by the Maras earthquake on behalf of the Darussafaka Association.
1The Darussafaka Education Association was founded in 1873 as the first private school opened in Turkey by a non-governmental organization. Its mission is to provide “equal opportunity in education” to children who have lost one or both parents and have limited financial resources. https://www.dek.k12.tr/
