Driehaus Foundation, was created as a tangible expression of the Foundation’s mission to offer a unique opportunity for students of medicine in the Czech Republic to gain clinical and research experience in state-of-the-art Chicago-area hospitals. Currently, the Foundation is collaborating with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago and the Charles University Medical School and Motol Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. |

The
Czech-language theater group Dech began entertaining in Chicago
in 2004. The theater crew, composed largely of volunteers, work
long hours to bring first class performances to the local Czech
community. Their hard work has already been rewarded by the successes
following Dech’s two plays: Divotvorny hrnec and Lotrando a
Zubejda. The Kristyna M. Driehaus Foundation has made a commitment
to assist Dech with program logistics as well as future grant support.
