On March 12, 2009, the BordoMaviNet administration issued a call through Külünkoğlu. There were some unfinished tasks at the memorial tomb of Kazım Koyuncu, who passed away at a young age and whose songs and love for Trabzonspor remain unchanged; following discussions, BMN was asked to provide support in completing the work. The administration's goal was both to deliver the aid quickly and to involve as many Trabzonspor fans as possible in this project.
The picture Badaloğlu described was clear. There was no birth date on the tombstone or wall; Kazım's portrait was not painted, and the Trabzonspor logo was not engraved. A mausoleum handed over to the family without doors or railings on the stairs and surrounding area… Promises were broken, and because the family lacked the resources, the deficiencies remained unfinished for years. BMN, with the knowledge of Kazım's older brother Hüseyin Koyuncu and the family, took action; the goal was to complete what was left unfinished by the anniversary of his death in June.
Donations were collected in the accounts of Mehdi Çelenk at İş Bankası and Ahmet Haşim Badur at Garanti Bankası. The list was kept transparent; Badaloğlu, Berk, Burçak, Çakır, Atalay, Ezgi Çubukçu, Zafer Bilgin, Selazurlu İsmail, Hüseyin Bağdat, Seda, and dozens of other members contributed to the account with amounts ranging from 5 TL to 250 TL. By the end of April, the total amount of donations on the list had reached approximately 2,600 TL. There were transfers from within the country, international transfers, and hand deliveries… Some apologized for the small amount; others pledged to contribute even while unemployed. No special video was shared on the subject.
This was more than just completing a tombstone. It was a tribute to the memory of a brother who left behind compositions for Trabzonspor. We haven't forgotten, and we never will.
