Yalıkavak Marina sparked a light of hope for the children’s future at the UNICEF HOPE Gala!

As the first ‘’UNICEF Platinum Wings’’ owner of Turkish Marine Industry, we felt the immense joy of witnessing the growth of hope for the future of Türkiye at the UNICEF HOPE Gala held at the Raffles Hotel.

03 December 2019, Istanbul – The UNICEF HOPE Gala, which was hosted by the UNICEF Turkish National Committee, gathered at the Raffles Hotel on Monday, December 2nd. Yalıkavak Marina, have been the proud “Education For Every Child” Sponsor of this dignified organization and felt the immeasurable pride of being part of this wonderful event. UNICEF benefactors, philanthropists from business, art and society circles attended this memorable night where all the sponsorship and ticket revenues were transferred to the inclusive education programs of UNICEF in Türkiye.

At the UNICEF HOPE Gala,  Deniz Akaltan, Yalıkavak Marina Director, addressed the guests saying: “We are happy to represent Türkiye around the world, especially focusing on the Middle East, Europe and Russia where we receive very positive feedbacks about development of Türkiye’s luxury tourism. In 2019,  more than 2 million people from 120 countries visited our marina, and we aim to increase this number by carrying out amazing projects planned for 2020. As the #1 super yacht marina in the world, we keep our focus and energy on sustainable development. This is why, many years ago, we have joined the UNICEF Platinum Wings initiative to improve children’s access to basic needs.
