Mission
The Věra Čáslavská Endowment Fund promotes Mrs Čáslavská’s convictions in the virtues of fair play and kalokagathia (a Platonic teaching based on a philosophy of a bodily, moral and spiritual wholeness) by supporting examples of honorable sports and civic behavior, as well as the defense of individual civil liberties. The Endowment Fund embraces the responsibility to promulgate Mrs Čáslavská’s noble beliefs as an ongoing inspiration for future generations. The Endowment Fund is dedicated to cultivating Mrs Čáslavská’s unique legacy first and foremost in the area of sports and the overall public perception of physical activity and exercise. Additionally, the Endowment Fund will seek out and support talented individuals from families who are themselves in socially weak situations. The Endowment Fund supports the ideals of democracy and personal freedom that formed the basis for Mrs Čáslavská’s convictions.
