PLN 14 million for children's ophthalmology
On 5 December, we organized the 68th Open Tender dedicated to the aim of the 30th Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, i.e. paediatric ophthalmology.
The money raised at the Grand Finale collection - which in essence, is a grassroots, community-based event which have been taking place in Poland for 30 years. The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity's objective is to purchase medical equipment for children's hospitals across the country and ensure that all children born in Poland have equal access to state-of-the-art medical treatment and diagnostics. The charity, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, has raised over 1.7 billion PLN and donated almost 69 000 medical devices to Polish public hospitals and clinics. The charity also runs and finances eight medical initiatives which systematically transform Polish medical care when it comes to neonatal health and children's medicine.
Each Grand Finale fundraiser has a clearly stated medical objective - a branch of medicine carefully selected after consultations with doctors and medical professionals. This year the charity raised money in aid of children's eye medicine.

Five days before the 32nd Grand Finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, we visited the 'Pomnik - Centrum Zdrowia Dziecka' (Children's Memorial Health Institute) to ceremoniously inaugurate the first Ophthalmic Simulation Laboratory in Europe dedicated exclusively to the field of peadiatric ophthalmology.
As you already know, we play with everyone and for everyone. What is more, in Warsaw we play in a totally new location! For the first time ever the heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will be beating at the PGE Narodowy meadows.
