Karsu performs at Dutch-American cultural celebration night

Held on Friday, November 17, 2023, under the patronage of Princess Margriet of the Netherlands and Prof. Pieter van Vollenhoven, the NAF Ball 2023 Silent Auction demonstrated the NAF's commitment to initiating and supporting impactful exchanges between the Netherlands and America.

The foundation's initiatives include prestigious Fulbright Scholarships and programs in arts, business, public policy, and historic preservation.

The evening began with the Gerard Carelli Orchestra and continued with a performance by Karsu Dönmez, featuring songs in Turkish, Dutch, and English.

NAF Ball Chair Atilay Uslu shared his thoughts on the evening with these words:

"My deep-rooted passion for traveling and connecting with people is inherent to my character. Like the NAF, my focus is on fostering friendships and goodwill. In addition to strengthening the ties between America and the Netherlands, I am also focusing on the ties between America and Curaçao, an island with American and Dutch flavors."

Consul General of the Republic of Türkiye in New York Reyhan Özgür and his wife Ceren Özgür, as well as Ceo Club New York Co-founder Jimmy Cüneyt Gürkan, were among the guests.
