At the time of the devastating flooding in the Czech Republic last autumn, we sent CZK 200,000 to help people affected by the floods. Catering for 150 people from the Next Women event at Prague’s Kampa, which was cancelled due to the floods, was provided to South Bohemian firefighters and police officers who helped day and night.
Our colleagues joined the collection of material aid for the city of Krnov, where many people lost their homes from one day to the next due to high water. And we also helped with free legal aid in the affected areas.
The HAVEL & PARTNERS Foundation supported four non-profit organisations and civic associations helping children’s education, sick children, young people and people suffering from mental disorders with a total of EUR 4,000.
At the Forbes Top Covers Gala, EUR 1,000 went to each of the association Children with Cancer, n. o., the Tvoj Buddy association supporting children who cannot grow up in their own families, Liga za duševné zdravie SR, and the Rozmanita organisation, which is building a model inclusive school of the future accessible to all children.
When you take the enthusiasm of a group of amateur and semi-professional cooks, add a few handfuls of great willingness to help and mix it with the appetite and good-heartedness of our colleagues, you get a proven recipe for a good portion of help.
As is our tradition, we organised a charity breakfast in the Florentinum in Prague and the Titanium in Brno, where part of our team cook and bake while our other colleagues are expected to come to work in the morning hungry and buy a home-made breakfast. The proceeds then go to a good cause.
Thanks to the generosity of our colleagues, we raised a total of 60,000 crowns. The firm added twice as much and a total of CZK 180,000 went to a good cause, which we divided between the Krása pomoci Foundation, the Zlatá rybka organisation, and People in Need - to help people affected by floods.
Our colleagues from the Bratislava office prepared small treasures, sweet and savoury treats and other surprises for seniors in 15 shoeboxes, which brought joy and smiles to residents of the senior home at Šaštín as well as in the social service homes at Borský Svätý Jur and Moravský Svätý Ján, where they take care of adult women and men with health impairments.
