These Are the Kind of Members We Have!

ČSH

Very active, creative, and with their hearts in the right place. For example, Honza Rousar, who together with his friends organised a benefit concert on Sunday in aid of the Society, the entire proceeds of which, along with the amount raised from the sale of a special CD, will go to the CSH account. Both bear the name "Honza Rousar and Guests." Performers at the concert included Hana Robinson, Nada Valova, Eva Dvorakova, Veronika Bergmanova, Petra Svobodova, Gabriela Vermelho, Jiri Samal, Stepan Kloucek, Jakub Hubner, Vlasta Horvath with his band, and the revue group Olats Otesoc.

The singers were accompanied by a band featuring pianists Vaclav Tobrman and Mikulas Pokorny, drummer Jaroslav Suchanek, bassist Jan Mikulecky, Radek Kaspar with numerous wind instruments, violinist Lukas Klima, guitarist Jan Juanito Burian, and of course Honza Rousar. The pleasant late-afternoon atmosphere was hosted by Marie Dolezalova and Vaclav Tobrman.

At the end, Honza Rousar handed over a symbolic cheque for the total amount of CZK 35,565 to CSH representative Michal Skorepa. The sum is split between the Czech Hemophilia Society and Hemojunior, so the Society's account received CZK 18,065.

Honza, and all the performers who contributed to the creation of the CD and the final benefit concert, deserve heartfelt thanks. Not only for the financial contribution, but also for the awareness-raising about haemophilia that took place throughout the entire campaign.
