Elite World Runs for Darüşşafaka in the 47th Istanbul Marathon

One of Turkey's leading hotel chains Elite World Hotels & Resorts, continues to support social benefit projects. The Elite World Hotels & Resorts team once again supported the Darüşşafaka Society in the 47th Istanbul Marathon, held on November 2, 2025, and ran with the motto, "When it comes to education, I run to help!" Donations collected during the marathon will be used to cover the book and stationery expenses of successful students at the Darüşşafaka Society who are bereaved and have limited financial means.

5th company that raised the most donations

Last year, the Elite World Hotels & Resorts team transformed the donations it collected on behalf of Darüşşafaka into meaningful support, contributing to the education of many students and becoming the fifth company to raise the most donations. This year, the goal is to build on last year's success, raise even more funds, and reach even more students.

The group will contribute to increasing the amount of aid collected by taking an active role both in the running course and in the donation campaign.

“We ran for equal opportunities in education”

Elite World Hotels & Resorts Board Member Responsible for Sales and Marketing Emel Elik Bezaroglu"The mission undertaken by the Darüşşafaka Society in education sets an example not only for our country but for the entire world. Contributing to the education of the new generation, the guarantor of our future, is a shared responsibility for all of us. This year, we participated in the Istanbul Marathon for the second time to demonstrate that they are not alone in this responsibility and to support more children in accessing a quality education. We hope that the proceeds from the campaign will bring hope to our children, the guarantor of our future," he said.
