On Saturday, 22nd February 2025, the XVII. Charity Ball of the Rotary Club Ostrava International took place at the Imperial Hotel – an evening filled with elegance, great music, wonderful entertainment, and above all, solidarity, this time in the presence of the legendary Elvis Presley.

During the ball, there was a ceremonial presentation of cheques. Alongside the Rotary Club Ostrava, we presented the proceeds from the charitable sale of Christmas punch held at Masaryk Square. We successfully raised a total of CZK 500,000, which was distributed among organisations that assist those in need:

• Pavel Novotný Foundation – CZK 100,000
• Matěj Kusín – CZK 60,000
• Alfi Association (support for families of children with autism) – CZK 30,000
• Kulíšek Foundation – CZK 30,000
• International Neurorehabilitation Centre Arcada – CZK 30,000

The Rotary Club Ostrava contributed CZK 250,000 from the sales of punch to the Stružielka project of the Folk Conservatory and Music School in Ostrava. During the evening, there was also a traditional charity auction, where, thanks to your generosity, we managed to raise CZK 100,000 for the Haima Ostrava organisation.

We would like to thank all the guests who shared this exceptional event with us, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

Thank you!
