Thanks to the voluntary contributions from the participating companies and profits from the sale of tickets to the charity raffle, this year's SVOBODA & WILLIAMS CUP managed to raise a record CZK 252,832. The entire amount will go to the Tereza Maxová Foundation, which helps disadvantaged and abandoned children and enables them to lead healthy and safe lives in a family environment.
The Tereza Maxová Foundation used last year's proceeds to support the HoSt Home Start ČR non-profit organization, whose goal is to create a healthy home environment for children and families through regular visits by their team of volunteers and therapists.
Like last year, the SVOBODA & WILLIAMS CUP organizers managed to create a pleasant social event for the whole family.
