The bank provides invaluable help during the Grand Finale fundraiser - different branches of this nationwide bank help our Collection Centres count the funds raised at the Grand Finale. Pekao S.A. also issues official GOCC debit cards, which allow their customers to support our charity with every transaction made.
Employees of the bank make sure that we are able to update the amount raised during the Grand Finale precisely and instantly, and local branches support our Collection Centres by providing secure transport of the money raised during the day. The bank is also helping us by providing our volunteers with payment terminals, so that they can accept digital donations on the go. Thanks to the bank's mobile app, our genrous donors were able to contribut 2 million PLN to the GOCC Foundation.
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!
For the eighteenth time, Jurek Owsiak, this time from the final stage on the PGE Narodowy meadows in Warsaw, opened the joyful run under the same slogan "Get Even with Diabetes". Crowds of running enthusiasts, after a five-kilometre route through the streets of Warsaw, will reach the finish line located in the same place.
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.
