Three Kings Collection to kick off nationwide on January 1

The Three Kings Collection, the country’s largest and oldest charity fundraising campaign, will kick off on January 1st around the country. Groups of carol singers dressed as the Three Kings will visit towns and villages, offering blessings and collecting donations for those in need. Proceeds from the collection are used to support social services and charitable projects run by the Caritas Czech Republic network. Ten percent of the funds raised will be allocated to assistance for the poorest communities abroad. Czech Radio has long supported the Three Kings Collection through its broadcasting and through the direct involvement of its staff.
