Held for the 15th time on May 2-3, all proceeds from TOG BAZAAR this time went towards TOG's relief efforts following the earthquake disaster on February 6.

Supported by Ariş Pırlanta, Bayer Türkiye, Eti, Fenercioğlu A.ş, Shell, Trendyol, and Yapı Kredi Crystal, the event held at Divan Kuruçeşme attracts around 150 brands and thousands of visitors each year. This year, everyone attending the event contributed to TOG's support activities in the earthquake-stricken areas since February 6.

TOG Volunteer Youth Clearing the Traces of the Disaster

TOG volunteer youth have been supporting relief efforts in Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Adıyaman, and Gaziantep, where aid trucks have been arriving since February 6, by unloading, sorting, packaging, and distributing aid. Additionally, they conduct workshops with children affected by the disaster at two Support Centers opened by TOG in Kahramanmaraş and provide tutoring for university preparatory students.
