Numerous musicians donated items for our auctions. It's humbling to see that they are often of great monetary and sentimental value.
Today's sensational news was of Micka Jagger's guitar on GOCC auction.
But it's not the only music related thing you can bid for. We are auctioning, among others: four part light wall courtesy of Michał Szpak, our eurovision contestant, or „Paparanoja” CD by Enej.
Not quite for you? There is so much more: golden record "Etiuda Zimowa" belonging to LemON band, album signed by Oberschlesien and Grubson's Woodstock 2016 CD & DVD.
Still looking? How about guitar signed by Carlosa Santana at Dolina Charlotty Festival in 2016 roku or electric violin UrbGan from Michał Urbaniak.
What is even more important is that bands playing at the different events accompanying the Grand Finale - both the concerts taking place on the Parade Square in Warsaw and in towns and cities across the country have agreed to play free of charge. The musicians accept our rule: 'I play at the Grand Finale & I don't take money'. I doubt anyone can imagine the GOCC's Grand Finale without music! I know I can't, so from the depth of our hearts: thank you for playing with us and for us!
Hundreds of participants wearing our original orange T-shirts? It's a signature feature of our "Get Even with Diabetes" Run! We will hold the 18th stationary edition of the run in the streets of Warsaw on 28 January. However, the virtual run starts today! You can still register online and add your time to the pool!
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.
Traditionally, on Fridays just before the Grand Finale fundraiser, the GOCC Foundation hosts a press conference to sum up the preparations for the annual collection. Jurek Owsiak will present all our initiatives, actions, and activities as we prepare to celebrate another edition of the joyous celebration of kindness!
