October 23, 2011

Following yesterday’s 7.2 magnitude earthquake in eastern Turkey, Brother’s Brother Foundation (BBF) will respond to the requested needs of the residents of Turkey working with the Pittsburgh Turkish American Association (PTAA). BBF and PTAA worked together after the August 1999 earthquake in Turkey.
PTAA was founded in 1973 in Pittsburgh PA, and is currently registered as a non-profit organization in Pennsylvania. It traditionally serves the tri-state area around Pittsburgh, including Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and West Virginia. PTAA is a member of the ATAA, Assembly of Turkish American Associations.

BBF, a 55-year old Pittsburgh-based international charity, has provided over $4 billion of medical supplies, textbooks, food, seeds, and other humanitarian supplies to people around the world in over 146 countries. With the help of gifts from the general public, corporations and the US government, in 2011 BBF sent product contributions to those in need in 65 countries and furnished supplies for 270 medical and humanitarian hand-carry mission trips.
