CTC support is a major force behind the Migdal Epic Israel race

Galilee Treasures is part of The Spirit of Galilee also established by Mrs. Raya Strauss Ben Dror. Its purpose is to generate an economic and social leap in the Western Galilee by improving the quality of life of its residents on the basis of its unique story and assets.
The end result would that the Western Galilee will become the economic growth engine for the whole state and as a source of inspiration for other regions in Israel and the world.
