Established in the 1970’s, the Czech Heritage Foundation (CHF) promotes Czech events and traditions in the Cedar Rapids area that preserve and celebrate Czech heritage.
Preservation through Programs
2023-2024 Royal Court
From becoming a member of Czech royalty to traveling abroad to visit the land of our ancestors, CHF sponsors various programs that help youth become involved in their heritage. These experiences give them a better understanding of themselves, the history of their ancestors, and the importance of these to the Czech communities in the state of Iowa.
“They (the members of CHF) are a very talented and dedicated group of people. Together we hope to continue with our mission statement: ‘The Czech Heritage Foundation is committed to preserving, celebrating and maintaining the rich culture of the Czech Community for future generations.’”
