We must say they sure have big plans for tomorrow! Among many events we may quote:
-concerts of Polish and Scottish musicians (Bruk, GiT, EmigraczeE&DJ Meni oraz Ramage Inc.! ),
-contests and lottery with prizes for kids,
-show prepared by the Polish Dance Ensemble Ojczyzna and much more!
At 20:00 of course fireworks will shoot up in the sky joint by a festive parade of motorcycles and offroad four-by-fours. Sweet!
In the meantime, they're planning to auction donations gathered to support the cause, e.g. t-shirt and Polish flag from Rio autographed by Piotr Małachowskiego, a poster of Dzień Dobry TVN (a morning show in polish TV) signed by the hosts as well as many vouchers and other goods donated by local companies, institutions and individuals. You may bid a medal Teraz Polska Wybitny Polak offered by Kinga Plich, a private concert of Ramage Inc., a tattoo by InkDependent and many other interesting things.
Among Scottish donations we can quote the first edition of Wojtek the Bear: A Polish War Hero by Aileen Orr and Lesley A. Duncan or an original badge of the 22nd Artillery Supply Company in the ranks of which the bear fought!

Warsaw, Poland, the world! The enthusiasm which exploded in our country in 1993 has reached the most distant corners of the world in a flash. Already during the very first Grand Finale, we were present across the ocean!
From 23rd to 26th May, in the sunny town of Lloret de Mar, Spain, the 6th International Collection Centres Get-Together took place. This special event brought together nearly 100 representatives from 34 Collection Centres across 13 countries, all united by their dedication to organising the GOCC Grand Finales outside of Poland.
The registration of Collection Centres, i.e. hubs of volunteers organizing the Grand Finale events for their local community, is now over. Collection Centres will be actively participating in the 32nd Grand Finale fundraiser across Poland and in 101 locations around the world!
