What is the difference between the preliminary result we announce at midnight of the Grand Finale and the amount we publish on our website? To put matters simply - the preliminary amount we announce on the day of the Grand Finale comprises of the estimate amounts raised by each Collection Centres, digital fundraisers and donations made by corporate partners. This year, we announced that the preliminary sum - the estimated amount we raised in aid of children's medicine was 92 143 798 PLN (over 21 000 000 EUR).
The amount in our account is just what it says on the tin - it's money we have in our account at any given moment. The counter on our homepage is updated daily and will be stopped once the amount in our account will reflect the preliminary result of the fundraiser. However, the money will still be counted and we will announce the final amount we raised to buy medical equipment for specialized children's hospitals.
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.
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.
