The amazing people working at the Collection Centre in Brussels came up with an idea to organise a meeting of volunteers and activists involving in running Grand Finale fundraisers in ten different countries across the globe. Not only did the representatives of the Collection Centre had the opportunity to exchange ideas, tips, and tricks on running a fundraiser outside its home country, but also they got to talk about their work with the team from the Foundation.
One thing was putting a face to a name and meeting people who took it upon themselves to make Grand Finale events happen in Belgium, Germany, Norway, England, Scotland, the US, the Netherlands, and Ireland. We got to spend 3 days with some of the most driven and enthusiastic people on the planet, who manage - despite all odds - organise vibrant celebrations for their communities.
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.
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!
41 days before the 32nd Grand Finale and our annual collection is already peaking! PLN 1,108,427 has already powered our fundraiser held in aid of respiratory units across Poland!
