A generous donation for C4C from the sector you’d least expect it from…
This story started sometime back, when Daniel Xuereb, Uber-director of all things Corinthian (as in Corinthia Group) in the Czech Republic, suggested to C4C’s founder, Manfred Franke, to consider attending a meeting of the Czech chapter of SKÅL International, the largest global Network of the Travel and Tourism Industry.
“There could be benefits”, remarked Daniel with a smile.
Good things take time, as the saying goes – and, ultimately, benefits there were!
Precisely, they came in the form of a generous check of 25.000 CZK for C4C, presented by SKÅL International Prague president Heinz Reigl, during the recent Club meeting at the Holiday Inn Congress Center in Prague.
“These are not the best of times for us in the travel industry”, remarked Heinz during the ceremony, “but a promise is a promise, and we present this gift to you for 25 years of tireless efforts for children in need and at risk in this country.”
Truth be told, as far as fundraising is concerned, these are not the best days for C4C as well. So this gift, from the sector we least expected it from – carried all the more meaning and significance for our team.
Thank you very much Heinz, Daniel and all the members of the SKÅL Club!
May better times await us all!
