Charity auction

We auction for three children

The auction takes place during the evening — you bid from your table. The proceeds are split equally among three families.

Eliška

Eliška

Foundation TBD

She is fourteen months old and lives with a rare genetic change that has affected her sight, hearing and development. She cannot yet hold her head up on her own. But she always pays attention when she hears the voice of her older sister Karolínka, who talks to her and tries to stay close.

Award

Award for Humanity

Each year we honour a person who has long helped others without talking about it.

A glass award by Jiří Pačinek

The award is made by Jiří Pačinek’s glassworks. Each piece is a hand-blown original, so no two awards are the same.
