CSR initiative supported by CEMS corporate partner Reuters: "Šance pro děti"

Dear CEMS Alumni and members of CEMS Alumni Association Prague,

CEMS corporate partner Reuters - the renowned global news agency - together with several partner companies, organize in the Czech Republic for the 7th consecutive year its award-winning charitable project Šance pro děti“ for children in need.

About 105 carefully selected images taken recently by Reuters photographers and collaborators are made available from 13thApril to 24th April 2015 in an online auction to be held at www.sanceprodeti.cz.

Successful bidders will receive their large format photos professionally printed and framed in high-quality aluminum frames.
This year, the public interested in supporting the project without actively engaging in the online auction, will have the possibility to contribute through DMS.
All collected proceeds will go to support orphanages, infant and child centers who take care of pre-school children. In addition, the proceeds will also go to one institution that helps families who took children from orphanages for foster, adoptive or host care.
It is important to note that all donated funds go without any intermediary from the donor directly to the accounts of the children's organizations. These institutions decide on how to use the proceeds most effectively – mainly to finance services and activities for children. The budgets received from the state cover only their regular operations  and are not enough to cover any special needs that children may have. For example: rehabilitation, animal assisted therapy, hippotherapy, therapeutic programs, purchase of medical equipment or equipment for physically or otherwise disabled children... etc.
Come and join us at www.sanceprodeti.cz and pick a picture that will make you proud!
