MTS Logistics today announced its 15th Annual Bike Tour with MTS for Autism event, taking place on Saturday, June 14th.
MTS Logistics is proud to announce that its 15th Annual Bike Tour with MTS for Autism event will take place in New York City on Saturday, June 14th, 2025.
It’s been 15 years since we started our annual tradition of the Annual Bike Tour with MTS for Autism event. This year, we will be celebrating the 15-year milestone with another fun-filled day of biking, learning, and fun. For the third year, Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF) has partnered with MTS Logistics to amplify this great event and grow autism acceptance.
Last year, we raised over $120,000, and this year, we seek to mark our 15-year milestone by raising over $150,000 for autism acceptance. All proceeds from this year’s event will once again be donated to Spectrum Works, which provides job training and employment to young adults with autism.
15th Years of Making a Difference
For the past 15 years, the MTS Logistics community, as well as shipping and logistics industry leaders have bonded over a shared commitment to increasing autism awareness through this event. As in years past, our community of employees, clients, family, and friends will move the needle by advancing job training and skills for young adults with autism. Collectively, the event has become the largest bike event ever in the world of shipping and logistics.
We invite all members of the shipping, logistics, and business community to join MTS Logistics and Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF) in our mission to grow autism acceptance. We are humbly accepting any level of support.
These annual bike events make a big difference. Over the years, these events allowed Spectrum Works to help over 700 young adults with autism through workplace training programs, and expand the organization through partnerships with 15 companies and 35 high schools.
A fun-filled day is in store for all event participants. Event benefits will include:
- Fun music will amp up participants and get them prepared for an eventful day
- Bikers will receive a free bike rental and jersey, and bottled water, courtesy of MTS and Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF)
- A delicious and healthy lunch will be served at Tatiana Restaurant in Brooklyn
- Kids are welcome to bike with us, too!
- Kids under 16 also receive a free bike courtesy of MTS Logistics
We will raffle exciting and fun prizes to adults and kids, including:
- 2 tickets from event sponsor Turkish Airlines to any destination it flies around the world
- Tickets for a spa day for 2 lucky couples
- 1 bike raffled by MTS Logistics
MTS Logistics President, Sedat Saka, made the following statement, marking this year’s bike tour event:
“This year is a really special one for MTS Logistics and the shipping and logistics community. In our 15th year doing this great event, we really have come to see the impact of our annual bike tour efforts, having raised over $120,000 last year. With our biggest goal ever of $150,000 this year, we will make an even-bigger impact on autism awareness.
I love how this event brings everyone together for a great cause. I would like to thank everyone who has already reached out to support this year’s event, as well as our event partner Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF) for its support. Thanks also to Spectrum Works for its great efforts in hiring and training young adults on the spectrum. I hope to see everyone there on June 14th!”
We humbly ask for your support and participation in this event. Please help us mark our 15th bike tour event by helping meet our $150,000 goal and having a real-world impact on autism awareness. Spectrum Works will also provide free “Autism in the Workplace” education sessions to any interested companies sponsoring the event, so your contributions directly help lead to more training and opportunities for young adults with autism.
